Hi!
I use now mozilla 1.3, w/ enabled AA (editing unix.js, u know, i attach
it to be sure). As i found not all the fonts r rendered w/ AA. A bit
surprisingly for me, especially the original unix fonts has problems
(the MS web core fonts are displayed nice in AA). I dig a bit the web to
find a solution, and found the following page:
http://www.upsdell.com/BrowserNews/res_fonts.htm
This page has texts w/ all the common font styles, so one can easily
check which fonts don't get displayed AA. Go to the Sample of Fonts
section, there u can see the different fonts.
W/ a 'default' lunar install (installung truetype module), i have the
following results:
Microsoft Core Web Fonts: All dispalyed properly w/ AA.
Common Windows Fonts: none of the serif fonts, but all the others are
displayed AA.
Common Mac fonts: None of the fonts expect Charcoal and Geneva are
displayed AA.
Common unix fonts: NONE of them is dispalyed AA!!!
So i think the problem is i have no ttf versions of eg the 'common unix
fonts'. Only me?
I think linux and mozilla (and lunar :) is ready for displaying very
nice AA in browsers, just we should organize the fonts a bit better.
Could u check please the above page if that displays fonts properly for
u?
Sorry i know it's not exactly lunar related, but i think if we could
have a nice solution for this, lunar could be among the bests in another
parameter (i think now it's among them in package management and
user/developer community and support).
thanks, hirisov
