Another thing that bother me in Debian was subpixel-hinting and font-smoothing, it wasn't enable by default (or it wasn't capable and adding a font config half fixed it), is this still an issue in Jessie? That was really bad UX.
- Luyt 12y agoI think that had to do with some patents on the truetype font hinting interpreter in Freetype.
- lloeki 12y agoIIRC those patents are related to MS ClearType and have expired (but my memory may serve me wrong)
- icebraining 12y agoSome of them have expired, but there are still patents related to subpixel font hinting and layout which won't expire before 2018.
