  5. Update: It has something to do with flatpak not picking up font rendering settings. I gave up and went back to #LibreWolf (installed via debian extrepo)

    Ok, that has to be some of the most garish #font #rendering I've ever seen.

    I've tried turning on full font #hinting in #KDE settings and restarting #Waterfox, to no avail.

    Any ideas, #HiveMind? XD

  10. TTF-DOOM: как я запустил 3D-рейкастер внутри TrueType-шрифта

    Каждый, кто хоть раз заглядывал на Hacker News или r/ItRunsDoom, знает традицию: DOOM должен работать на всём. PDF-файлы, SQL-запросы, кишечные бактерии, тест на беременность - список бесконечен, и каждый новый порт абсурднее предыдущего Но я задался вопросом: а можно ли запустить DOOM внутри шрифта? Оказалось, что можно. И вот как.

  18. The Titans are hinting at their No. 1 overall NFL Draft pick, and they’re going to screw it up

    With just under a month until the 2025 NFL Draft we now have a pretty good idea of…

  19. @g0nz4 Same problem as in Bookworm. I just can't get full #hinting. Look at the #Debian 9 screenshot: the fonts are so crispy I want to chew them. Compare with the grayish blurry fonts in #Mint 22 - with the same settings in Xfce. I've been told that support for hinting is gone in new versions of the font renderer.

  24. This was probably the scariest job I’ve done so far. #Hinting the new corporate font for ODIDO, the rebrand of T-Mobile NL together with Tele2. #advertisement
    Used in hundreds of screen applications.
    merk.odido.nl/en

    The font is based on CoType Foundry’s Aeonik and altered by Diana Ovezea. TrueType Hinted in @glyphs (luckily no #VariableFont)

    Thank you Mark Bloom and Diana Ovezea, for your tust and this great opportunity. And for great time mgmt and clean files.

  32. So I've heard overlapping components in a hinted TT font is a big No — this comes up a lot in, for example, the `ç`, which usually has a `cedilla` component overlapping the `c` — but I've never seen an issue caused by overlapping components! But maybe I haven't been paying close enough attention.

    Does anyone have an example of when overlapping components caused some sort of rendering issue?
