KDE Pinheiro

This is almost a identi.ca "dent" just to show the progress on the optical-media-video. I hope I have all of the k3b icon set done by the end of this week. On the fonts front i had a lot of positive feed back on this issue but its not easy convincing every one so please if you have a little bit of time try my proposed settings... and share your opinions. One major advice i want to give distros is to make sure sub pixel RGB aa is off. IMO its very discuss-able if it does produces better results and you are not sure your user is using a RGB vertical TFT.

Ok first thing the icon. The kgpg people wanted me to do something they could print in large size so I updated the application icon a bit and you just need to use the svgz in svn to get is as big as you might want to. During the period I was in berlin I noticed most people never chage their font set up, and during the same period I went to every single computer there to change the defoult setings as fonts goes, and most peple like them, and asked if i could blog about it..... so here we go.... nuno's simple rule book for sharper fonts...... #1 set your hinting style to full. even if you like big fonts the result is much sharper if your hinting is set to full. #2 Use a smaller font size like 8 or 9. specially if you use low or average hinting the small fonts have a much thiner trace that makes the font thickness be exactly 1 pixel. If your fonts thickness is not 1 then you are in trouble. Low hinting style and large fonts make traces of about 1.3 1.5 thikness that result in blur...
