looks fine to me

Maybe you could install better fonts, or a different font rendering engine.

I don't get what you're saying. Are you saying Windows has better fonts? Maybe. Better font rendering? You're actually wrong. I don't find pleasure in reading on windows with that stupid font rendering. I don't see how could anyone.

>>59029638
Fonts in Ubuntu always look nice to me.

>>59029638
Windows' fonts are objectively worse in every single aspect

I disagree, I'm on Windows and my font rendering is good.

Wow, killer lowercase I

>>59029927
I have a custom font renderer and for some reason, firefox renders text in two passes.
First very thin and light, then it darkens.

The firefox screenshot script, for some reason, only captures the first pass.

I can't figure out why it does that.

cairo is fucking weird.

tb.h I think fonts are worse on windows. It's not really a big deal with higher resolutions though.

Then again I run i3wm so it's not like I care about rice and prettifying things, it objectively looks like dogshit but it's very functional, just like my neon colored jogging shoes

Lmao you guys are literal autists arguing over fucking pixels. Any person without crippling autism doesn't notice the difference.

disgusting aliasing

>>59031689
This. I can see words on the screen. That's good enough for me.

>>59031689
When you have a job where you look at a computer all day you'll tend to be more observant of subtleties like this, and naturally, you'll want it to look nicer.

>>59029638
>bring back muh infinality

>>59031727
I do not understand the meaning of "nicer font". If I can see it, then I can see it.

>>59031719
change all your system fonts to comic sans and disable all aliasing and then say that

that's what shit rendering is like for us with refined taste in font rasterization

>>59031745
But some things can be more aesthetically pleasing than others. Nobody here is arguing that poorly rendered text is illegible, just that it looks ugly.

>>59029731
looks unsharp

>>59031750
I don't have a copy of comic sans. I can turn off font anti-aliasing

Literally nothing wrong with the font rendering. Use a well supported distro you autist.

Anyone tried OS X on a non-HiDPI display lately? Am I doing something wrong or do the fonts really look like complete cancer? This wasn't a problem on Mavericks from what I can remember.
