<div dir="ltr"><div>Well, so i have installed freetype-freeworld, i am attaching here screenshots with opened firefox - same page with Ubuntu , and same page with Fedora.</div>
<div>If i can make to look Fedora looking like that, that i will switch to ubuntu because "smooth and good looking fonts" are really important for me.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Well i know very good, that Ubuntu is using its optimized "cairo" , but this is not about fonts, this is about way how fonts are antialiased and smoothed! :((</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Does that freetype-freeworld is also used for ubuntu fonts rendering? (or they use something speciall)</div>
