Linux font rendering. Not even once.

>>61421475
That's worse than normal but yeah Linux font rendering is terrible in general. Most of the time the font barely even resembles the original design.

xubuntu doesn't have this problem

Fuck right off, I don't want rolling release.

>>61421708
You can make the fonts look better than the OP but you can never make them look good or accurate to the typographer's design.

>>61422046
>infinality is just a font config

>>61421769
A package that has been root kitted twice in the last several years. You might as well just start installing random executables in Windows.

>>61422070
then use the obsolete freetype and don't make these threads

>>61421475
Update FreeType and install decent fonts, anon.

>>61421475
if you dont know how to configure your linux system then you should fuck off retard, its not OS's fault because you are dumb shit

freetype really improved, now the defaults are pretty decent.

Your strawman:
>oldstable release sucks
>I don't want to use stable

What I said:
>stable release sucks
>I don't want to use unstable (testing)

quality strawmanning

what's wrong with it ?

Ubuntu's font rendering is unrivaled in normall DPI screens, fuck off street shitter shill.

>Ubuntu's font rendering is unrivaled in normall DPI screens
True but...

>fuck off street shitter shill.
Street shitters and GNUmales are the only people left that are poor enough to have low (or "normal") DPI screens.

>>61423289
it's crap
>ooga booga where the wide font spacing at

>>61421708
how about fucking making them look good by default

>>61423548
>>61421475
The question should be: what you need to do to get that on a user oriented distro?

If you choose a DIY distro or a barebones distro then the simple fact that theres user oriented distros that ships good defaults invalidates OP's argument completely.

>>61421475
Windows font rendering is objectively worse.
Everytime I come to this site on Windows I'm always disgusted at how meme arrows look.

I'd just like to interject for moment. What you're refering to as Linux, is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux. Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day, without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU which is widely used today is often called Linux, and many of its users are not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run. The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself; it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called Linux distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux!

If you don't want to configure your font rendering maybe you should switch to some user oriented distribution like Ubuntu?
