Description Philipp Wollermann 2006-04-06 08:02:21 UTC

I use the MS Webfonts (Verdana, etc.) and Tahoma in my KDE system and configured BYTECODE_BW_MAX_PIXEL = 18 with the yast /etc/sysconfig editor. Anti-aliasing is still enabled in KDE, I told OpenOffice to anti-alias the fonts beginning with font-size 18 pixels and higher. The fonts look perfect now in KDE and all apps, but OpenOffice does not use the byte code interpreter, so the menu fonts look very pixeled. The fonts in the document view are rendered correctly. I attached a screenshot. I'm running current factory.

It looks like a problem with KDE integration. Kendy, could you look at it?

Comment 3 Jan Holesovsky 2006-04-06 14:55:04 UTC

Hmm, will try.

A dup sadly, if the font rendering infrastructure could do a better job of keeping metrics intact while changing various properties like this - life would be good.
