Do you like the look of the fonts in 13.37 ?
A nice simple YES / NO / OFNAP (Oh! **** not another poll) poll about the font rendering in the latest and, in my not so humble opinion, the greatest release of Slackware.
I just changed my fonts back to the old method using the information found in http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackwar..._AND_HINTS.TXT, and from the number of threads about this subject I'm probably not the only one. samac |

For what it's worth, I have never had a problem with fonts on any linux distro I have ever used.
Since I have been using linux, the fonts on Windows XP look really crappy to me by comparison. I don't know why that is. I have never had to do anything special with fonts on linux. They always just look fine to me. |
As long as they're readable they're alright. They're different from previous versions (because of freetype), but they look ok to me.

I'd forgotten all about this. When the change first hit current I was horrified by the new font rendering, but after adding 10-autohints and getting used to the slight differences that still remained I'd consider it "ok".
I'm still not convinced it looks as good as the old rendering, but that's probably getting into the territory of individual preference. I also suspect that the physical characteristics of the monitor being used also play a factor. Default Vista font settings don't look too great on my screen either. |

I voted no and used the reversion trick. The problem was that system fonts looked smaller and pixelated, but using that trick now fonts on some web pages in chromium are a lot larger than they used to be.
*Edit: having tried both settings I prefer how web pages are rendered with autohinting off. I'm not sure why it should change the size of fonts.. |

In Xfce, yes, but the fonts have always looked better in Xfce, IMHO. By "always," I mean in Xfce versions 4.6.1/2 and 4.8, running in Slackware64, 13.1, current, and 13.37. |
I'm OK with the fonts.
|
Yes, I like them.
|
I change to 13.1 fonts.
