I just tried with a Slackware 13.37 RC3. Font rendering in KDE, in Dolphin windows and such is great. The rest (GTK apps like firefox) is worse as alwaysthenktor wrote:

Also for me, in KDE, it's excellent. The problem is Firefox, or GIMP. See here:thenktor wrote:My font rendering is excellent in KDE with sub pixel hinting style full.
I don't have thatJRD wrote:In Firefox 4, got to about:config and search for "cleartype", then enable the use of clear type for content, this will improve font rendering.

Xft.antialias: 1
Xft.hinting: 1
Xft.rgba: none
Xft.hintstyle: hintslight
Xft.dpi: 87Thanks I already have tweaked .fonts.conf and .Xresources in a similar way, but I still have differences between KDE/QT apps (font rendering is perfect, same as Ubuntu) and GTK/Gnome (good, but not as good).pevsner wrote:I usually have to add a .fonts.conf for Qt programs,
& edit ~/.Xresources to get hinting looking right for gtk programs in Openbox as lxappearance doesn't set hinting (xfce hinting works fine).
Best of luck, crappy fonts sux!
