Summary: subpixel on by default? Product: Fedora Version: f8 Platform: All OS/Version: Linux Status: NEW Severity: low Priority: low Component: fontconfig AssignedTo: besfahbo@redhat.com ReportedBy: dwinship@redhat.com QAContact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: fedora-fonts-bugs-list@redhat.com
I've noticed various places using subpixel hinting in F8:
- the installer - the graphical boot screen - gdm
(I've noticed, because they're using the wrong RGB ordering for my monitor, and so it looks awful.)
I'm assuming that none of these apps are doing it on purpose, and that the problem is just with the default settings. (And then once I log in, everything is fine, because GNOME overrides the defaults.)

This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'.
Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life.
Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you.
Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping

--- Comment #2 from Dan Winship dwinship@redhat.com 2008-11-26 08:16:11 EDT --- gdm appears to use grayscale smoothing in F10. I don't know what the graphical boot screen uses because I don't have a graphical-boot-supported graphics card. The installer is still definitely broken. (I am assuming that this the installer is not *deliberately* setting the font smoothing mode wrong though, but rather, it's just inheriting a broken default from somewhere.)

Fedora 10 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-12-17. Fedora 10 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.
If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version.
Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
