I have a question about out-of-the-box font rendering in Hera.
As you can see in the screenshot below, letters don't look very good.
They don't look very smooth, seem to vary in their thickness.
Is this normal?
When I watched some reviews of Elementary OS on YouTube, their fonts looked a lot better than this.
If this is the default rendering, what can be done to make this situation better?
I was surprised to find out that the same screenshot looked a lot better on my Macbook Pro and my Windows desktop.
It still looks horrible on my elementary OS. Especially, the rendering gets horrible on web browsers, namely, Ephiphany and Firefox.
I still do believe that it has something to do with sub-pixel rendering. Something must not be working correctly for this kind of behavior to happen.
