This is why I don't use Linux for desktop: atrocious font-rendering especially w.r.t to correct kerning: http://imgur.com/2bpz8.png http://imgur.com/2bpz8.png (pay attention to the words: source, coined, success, recognition etc.) Only the Leopard gets it complete right. I've been using Linux in servers for more than 10 years. I had a cheap generic laptop running Gentoo for 2.5 years, which was much more stable than my current Macbook Pro (which I didn't pay for), which has been in the shop twice due to hardware problems in the past year. But I cannot tolerate low quality font-rendering in Linux any more, as I've been spoiled by the fluid font-rendering in OS X. Apparently, I'm not the only one, who has this issue: http://www.kilobitspersecond.com/2009/04/17/ubuntu-font-hinting-you-a-cautionary-tale/ http://www.kilobitspersecond.com/2009/04/17/ubuntu-font-hint... These are not insurmountable problems, I'm eagerly waiting for desktop Linux to polish up, as I look forward to dumping the crappy Macbook Pro.
