It can be pretty bad at times. I don't know why. I recently installed Arch and it was okay right away. I have no idea what's up. Also, there's infinality for you, it's a pretty good fix.

install fonts needed to render the website.
if that's to much, default to the ubuntu botnet.

wtf I hate windows now

but really dude, you just have to install the proper packages to get it to work well. If you wanted good font rendering out of the box you should have gone with a noob distro like ubuntu.

>>57689880
Are you asking us how to fix your fonts?
Because you are too stupid to google it?

Sucks not being on an Apple device. Evaluate your options a little better next time.

Use eselect fontconfig to disable synthetic fonts, and make sure slight hinting is on.

Enable the adobe-cff useflag for freetype because the cleartype hinter sucks rotten asshole.

Pic related is Arial Unicode MS, I substitute most font families with it.

Fucking arch users.
Just set a simple config, it's not difficult.

>>57690595
>blurry shit
Let me guess, you also think full subpixel rendering makes fonts look "too sharp" and "too thin". Fucking kill yourself.

>>57690694
I wasn't talking about just Arch but distros in general. I didn't set up jack shit this time, the font rendering was fine without having to do anything.

What I'm wondering is why it's shit on some distros. It was fine on Arch but on Debian it was awful. Ubuntu was really good, OpenSUSE was terrible. What's up with that?

>>57690886
Nothing to do with firefox.

>noticing font rendering

>>>/lgbt/

>>57690898
Depends what fonts get installed and whether they have a decent basic config. You say you didn't set anything up but what you did added more bloat to your system and was not really any easier than copy and pasting a config in to a file. Too many arch users parrot infinality as a solution without understanding what it does or what the capabilities are without it. It can be surprising what can be achieved without it with very little effort, I actually prefer without it.

>>57690950
I think you misunderstood. I'm not using infinality, nor did I tweak any configs. I don't think I've actually done anything to change the fonts from the way they were when I did a basic install. They seemed pretty good from the get-go so I didn't bother.

I mentioned infinality because I did use it before because I didn't really want to learn to set up font configs etc. Infinality did the trick in that regard, it made the text look better. I know simple solutions like that aren't usually the optimal ones, but it's easier to suggest infinality than guide someone through setting up fonts on their own.

To whoever reads this: use the correct dpi for your display instead of copy-pasting from the internet.

ClearType is hidden behind patents so Linux will never get good font rendering at sub 4k resolutions.

the problem of font rendering ugliness disppeared when 4k monitors came in. And if you don't have a 4k monitor then just kys

liberation or noto?
