LiquidSolstice Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 Callisto doesn't render very well, not smooth at all + jagged edges in Ubuntu. Segoe works beauitfully, and idea why? :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/957788-installing-calibri-font/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bioran Posted December 2, 2010 Share Posted December 2, 2010 I've always found Segoe UI to be a better font than Calibri. It just looks cleaner and, well, better looking.

LiquidSolstice Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 No, I agree, I love Segoe, but I force Opera to render all web fonts in my font, and Segoe ends up being just a touch too large. Calibri is perfect for the web. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/957788-installing-calibri-font/#findComment-593449842 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ViperAFK Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Calibri fonts and other cleartype fonts have bitmap versions embedded in them which activate at small sizes, which makes it look bad. To disable this and get correct smoothing at all sizes do this: Create a .fonts.conf file in your home directory, paste this in it: <match target="font" > <edit name="embeddedbitmap" mode="assign"> <bool>false</bool> </edit> </match> Then save it, log out and back in.
