I’ve noticed with the nvidia X driver fonts are sometimes not as sharp as with the intel driver.
I strongly prefer the font rendering of the intel driver, it’s bright, not muddy, white
and “sharper” edges.
How can I get the same font clarity with the nvidia driver?
hi,
If U are on Gnome, open on terminal gnome-tweak-tool and go 2 Fonts and try to adjust :
hinting: slight
edges: RGBA
scaling factor : dajust this until you get perfect fonts .
And you display is connected via VGA?
There should be no difference whatsoever if you have a digital connection.
It’s a laptop panel, so it’s digital :)
I didn’t change anything else, only the drivers, for the comparison shot.
Interesting. It looks like the Intel driver is properly gamma-correcting the antialiasing while the nvidia driver is not.
The “Enable FXAA” Option in the nvidia control panel was responsible for this. Turned it off, fonts are now much better.
+1 on disabling FXAA to remedy font blurring.
