How does Sup Forums prefer their font rendering? Hinited? Unhinted? Only slightly hinited? Greyscale AA, or RGB?

I force everything to grey scale on Windows because the rgb AA is so fucking bad on Cleartype.
David Cook
Windows 10 default
Cameron Roberts
Fuck blurry text.
Anthony Richardson
at that point i'd just use bitmap personally
Leo Walker
Whatever Mac uses.
William Kelly
I love free software, but macOS has the best fonts.
Blake Morris
at that res even Windows looks good
Nathan Nguyen
greyscale or bitmap
absolutely no rainbow bullshit

Default settings, vanilla compiled FreeType
No, just look how blury and artificially bold they look. macOS font render is a deception.
Jose Foster
those make no diff with nice fonts
except for the sub pixel thingy

the only major reason why mac has good looking fonts
Hunter Clark
It might look blurry because your monitor's pixel density is half of mine. Walk into an apple store some time, they let you try out the computers for free.
Isaiah Diaz
you don't need an applel for that, only a 23" 4K

> still looks like shit
Mason Jackson
This is "default" on Arch
Hunter Mitchell
that was firefox, and this is iridium (chromium)
Isaac Barnes
hinting absolutely makes a difference, without it on things look too fuzzy
Matthew Powell
*cough* *cought*
Logan Jones
not with the linked paste
it's the rgb thing
Aiden Brooks

turns out i had hint slight in /etc/ but i just tested with hint none/slight/med/full -- it's the same, then tested no-sub-pixel and it became a bit blurry, can confirm my previous post, now i have only 10-hinting-none.conf 10-sub-pixel-rgb.conf in .config/fontconfig/conf.d/
William Walker
you sure? it makes a pretty noticable difference on my end. i'm using the same setup in only with DejaVu Sans instead of Liberation (i can't stand the J)
pic related is hinted
Juan Lewis
and unhinted.
Carter Bennett
that's probably why, i have liberation, dejavu is too wide it hurts my eyes
Christian Richardson
nah, as you can see it affects the Liberation Serif font for the header, as well as all the other fonts on the page (the Japanese font, for instance). so i really don't think it's just a font thing in this case.
do you have a .fonts.conf in your home directory? i was noticing that my browser wasn't respecting some of my config settings until i made a .fonts.conf in my home directory. i just dumped the contents of base-rendering into it and it started working properly.
Andrew Perry
no i don't
i verified the changes applied to firefox and restarted it every time, before that i tested pcmanfm
all my[bohoomil's] shit is in .config/fontconfig with conf.avail/ conf.d/ fonts.conf [this has only a dpi setting]
cat /etc/fonts/conf.d/50-user.conf
fontconfig/conf.d
fontconfig/fonts.conf
~/.fonts.conf.d
~/.fonts.conf
debian right?
Brandon Hernandez
Old Windows fonts work perfectly.
Henry Nguyen
WTF? Just look to Do you have rgb subpixel render enabled?
Jose Morris
Owen Green
Fully aliased for full effect
Jackson Myers
Nope, I prefer grayscale antialiasing for hidpi
Carter Roberts
Same. rgb subpixel is only worthwhile on lower dpi.
Anthony Rivera
best so far, what's the recipe?

He says in his post, user. Follow that pastebin and do what it tells you to do.
