This year I decided that I was going to switch to Linux full time on my main machine, I always liked arch and decided to install EndeavourOS, but after installing it with the gnome DE I noticed that some fonts on discord and Vivaldi were blurry and with some sharpening issues. some examples: [imag…

Oh, different DPI monitors is always a problem on Linux - it’s extremely complex topic. The only DE i could advice which works good with per-monitor dpi out of the box is Deepin, but in a good conscious i will never advice to use it daily. Generally you would want to achieve native resolution / dp…

[looks-good-19] Yeah, they are different, but they use different font rendering software, so they are going to look different. I see no major issue with either, though. That said, I am almost blind. :rofl: Welcome to the forum! P.S. You should open a new topic regarding screen tearing. Let’s foc…

Hmmm - not sure what to say there. The biggest difference I see is that the Windows rendering appears to be slightly bolder rather than sharper or clearer. Your setting appear to make some sense to me, so no suggestions there. have you tried different fonts? TTF are Windows format (AFAIK) so might b…

[image] [FAQ] Bad font rendering in Firefox and other programs Newbie It’s not only Firefox, but any program using fontconfig… Close your program Enable LCD filter sudo ln -fs /usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/11-lcdfilter-default.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/ …

I don’t think that’s the issue here, because if you look carefully (with a magnifier), you’ll notice more colour fringing on the windoze example than on Linux. I think the OP just wants the fonts to be bolder.

No i think it’s that, that’s quirks of font rendering when it comes to ClearType / LCD filter… Sure there are differences between the two though, but they’re in a different plane :upside_down_face: Also Windows is not magically doing auto-tuning as well for each possible configuration / monitor, h…

After 2 days of research, I learned a couple of things, one of them is that DPI is something that you usually want to be tailor-made, but I use 2 monitors with different sizes and I have no clue of how to set DPI individually (one of the suggestions that I saw is to artificially resize one of the sc…

Makes sense, I think I have no questions about this, It seems that most DE’s lack on some aspect, what would be the shortcomings of Deepin? Edit: One thing that I realized is that anything chromium based has this weird font problem even with the DPI matching your monitor, such a shame because my fa…

[image] Josh25: what would be the shortcomings of Deepin? It’s incredibly unstable and not truly community based, meaning all decisions are based on corporate Chinese clients first, instead of community / bug reports :pensive: Other than that it’s very good and innovative :laughing: Not su…

Plasma since version 5.22 supports different DPI scaling per monitor.

For real this time, on X11 as well? Where’s my DisplayPort cable… :yum:
