Font quality

[FeuerEngel]

Hello all,

currently i use SLED 11 (32bit) on my laptop.
I'm getting used to work with it BUT what really annoys me is the display and/or font quality in general !
The resolution quality compared to Windows quality standard is just a nightmare. I tried already to install several fonts, f. e. Tahoma etc., and changed dpi, rendering (LCD) within "Appearance Preferences" but the fonts still look much too pixelized.
So far i couldn't find a way to get a display quality similar to Windows look.

Did anybody of you guys find a way to improve standard SLED 11 font quality especially reducing this kinda pixelized look ?

Many thx in advance for your help

Best regards, Ralf

I use Suse 11.2 & 11.3.
Start, Terminal, (type) Kcontrol, Aspect and Themes, Fonts, Adjust all fonts (I prefer Verdana, 12 pt), Anti-Aliasing (on), Apply
My resolution is 1024x728 @75MHz

Hi,
as i use GNOME i guess your suggestions can be set within "Appearance Preferences" !?
Where do i set "Anti-Aliasing" on within GNOME ?
Thx so far for your help

In my opinion, you should try to install some other fonts, which are better supported like Bitstream Vera. At least, I usually solve the problem of ugly letters by installing Bitstream Vera

Maybe this will help:

Growing up M$, I've never liked Gnome, choosing KDE instead. Font anti-aliasing is present as an option in Kcontrol, seems not in qtconfig.
