Font rendering

How come OSX font rendering is far superior to winblows and loonix?

who the fuck really cares that much about font rendering

Any renderer looks good when you blow it up to 200%

are you that retarded or merely pretending?

Because they invest a lot to make their turds look nice.
Renderer in Gnome looks fine. Debian with Xfce looked like shit, but hey if you install Debian with xfce you need to configure most of the system yourself anyway.

>Drops $1799 USD + tax on a below par "prosumer" laptop because muh font rendering
is this the power of apple?

I'm running it on my custom built pc.

Because you haven't configured Infinality properly.

Otherwise I agree with you, be default macOS has far better font rendering than any OS, except for maybe Ubuntu (they use some custom bullshit)

Only costed $600

That just looks like dogshit lmao

holy shit is this a troll?

t b h phones have better rendering than any computer OS

It's subjective.
Microsoft font renderers try to make sure that the output matches the pixel grid as closely as possible to preserve readability, even if it might not match the typeface design perfectly.

Apple tries to match the typeface as closely as possible at the cost of possibly being a bit blurrier.

Now, this might have changed but I'm pretty sure that's still the main difference. Not sure about linux.

no you mongoloid, I'm using a hiDPI highres screen.

That looks 5 times better than your blurry garbage. You are just a buttblasted faggot in denial of buyers' remorse.

Hang yourself and die, faggot.

So this is why text on macs looks blurry as fuck unless I'm using a Retina(r)(tm) display with 200ppi, while Windows is perfectly sharp even on shitty monitors.

How can Apple justify that approach?

What a total stupid gay faggot you are. Loser.

looks like shit

nothing comes even close to FreeType

2 reasons
>right font and right smoothing for the specific screen used
windows and linux have to work with all possible screen types and pixel densities, mac only has a selected few models.
for what it's worth, if you set up font smoothing right for windows, it looks pretty good too.
and on linux, well, Microsoft has the patent on sub pixel font smoothing, so it's not enabled by default. you have to build one package yourself, but with that it's as good as the other operating systems (when you have proper fonts installed)

but I guess you wanted a meme answer

So text scaling doesn't count, but zooming 4x into a jpeg is the defacto benchmark ?

look at you retard
does it look good?
or here look at the font name. is it rendered properly?
it looks like utter shit on the screencap and you know it
but on a mac it looks fine, because it's rendered for that specific screen.

please hand in your life license at the designated necking station

Let's be honest here
Macos is the only OS that has no practical value whatsoever. If it stopped existing all of a sudden one day, no one would care.

>Windows
Professional content creators fled from macs en masse to windows after Apple abandoned the pro market
Entire global economy, retail, wholesale, manufacfuring and desktops run on windows
Enterprise servers run on windows

>Linux
IT, sysadmins use Linux
Supercomputers, embedded chip and Android runs on Linux
Linux VMs are used for everything
Serious software development needs Linux, even Windows hosts a Linux subsystem for it.
Internet servers run on Linux

>Macos
Tech illiterate hipsters that need a shiny facebook machine want macos
Unironically faggots use macos even Apple CEO is a faggot and steve jobs was a smelly hipster who thought taking shower is not necessary (Not kidding)

>hurr durr I'm not poor
Buying organic water to prove otherwise is not only dumb but also laughable

Find me ONE reason that validates macos' existence
PROTIP: You can't

Linus uses a mac. Go fuck yourself and your mongoloid OS war fanboyism.

Bwcause Steve Jobs was an autist who cared about font rendering

Holy fucking shit you cock slurping faggot did you even LOOK at "Jow Forums - Technology"? The fucking letters are sitting on top of another.

IDK if you are trolling or not, but that's legitimately the worst rendering I've seen ITT

must be the garbage tier LCD screen on your memepad.

I'm using an UHD monitor, it looks good on your sub $50 poorfaggot laptop I guess

Sorry, you didn't make enough to buy a laptop from this decade, bro.

sorry you didn't make enough to have a high end custom built pc from this year, kiddo.

NASA uses macs, google use macs, among many other important organizations.

Still looks better than your 1659x1143 poorfaggot display haha. Maybe it's for the best, gives you an impression that your vomit inducing font rendering is somehow acceptable.

Mac's font rendering only looks decent on the screens that they make them for on everything else (and, even to an extent, on their own screens) there are too blurry and bold.

Linux when properly configured looks best.

>Dell UP2718Q
my monitor probably costs more than your laptop lmao.

>>Dell UP2718Q
Holy shit how come you got scammed into buying a 1659x1143 display HAHAHA dumb poorfag

why are you acting like a retard? you know it just makes you look worse right?

YIKES!

what blur? I haven't even posted a single pic in this thread.

actually disgusted

>what blur?

that's not my post or screenshot, autismo.

You don't have taste. CDE and Apple's Aqua are the best looking.

bright blurry shit, can barely even read it at that dpi

>n-not me
TOP
KEK

Guys?

It's not high dpi it's 'mission control', it's not like that when programs are selected.. it's just to get an overview over opened windows. I kind of love the bright wallpaper, I usually use nature pics though

Attached: Screen Shot 2018-09-14 at 03.33.10.png (1440x900, 2.7M)

>that dpi
it's an overview mode like windows 10's task view.

here is windows and linux side by side.
freetype has rgb hinting enabled and it is the noto font. I guess the windows font is arial

I do this. I like so fresh lemon juice mixed in whenever possible.

He uses a Mac that runs Fedora. At least, he used to.

So much this, I cringe everytime I see a software developer use a mac, because you can always kinda tell that most of them are web dev hipsters, or people who went into the tech field with no prior knowledge of tech and bought a mac for school bc is gud.
There are the odd exception tho, some niggas just wanted good unix before linux was good.
The rest are Casey Niestat wannabes and hipster devs

>I cringe everytime
go back to your reddit circlejerk

He gave the mac to his kids because the screen was terrible.

How come you're not sucking my GNU/penis right now, macfag?

I'm getting my microscope so I can locate your penis.

I'm waiting for another 26 seconds to pass so I can post an image reply to the post I forgot to include my screenshot on. But it's still far too early to delete the comment. Maybe I'll just call it a night.

Pretty sure google let's their employees use whatever the fuck they want. The definitely don't have the entire company under MacOS.
You realize you are talking about a company that probably has the most servers in the world, and are the creators of Android and ChomeOS, both linux based and many other programs that are better on linux.
Nasa is probably the same. I can guarantee that they aren't using Macs for their servers, rockets, satellites, and whatever else the fucking make. I would also bet money on all their data scientists and proprietary programs for specific shit is written for linux first and their devs probs use linux since thats what everything else runs on.
I'm pretty sure even Apple uses linux, please don't tell me they are using MacOS to run their servers.
How about governments? Get that Mac shit out of here. Only person I know using a mac is Trump

Why do all Mac Users have their taskbars so fucking massive. Please tell me you can change that

This is stock Fedora on my XPS 13. Please keep posting your blurry macshit.

It's on autohide so it doesn't matter. It's only up because of mission control feature

why did you enlarge the text you mongoloid?

Attached: Screen Shot 2018-09-14 at 04.15.23.png (780x490, 80K)

they obviously don't know how to use mac os x

that image is not his desktop at normal size you mongoloid. it's an overview mode that shows every open window which means it scales things down to show them all.

You can.

Attached: file.png (1944x1232, 3.4M)

Because my screen is 3200x1800 in 13", you complete retard. At scaling=1 I'd have to press my face against the screen to be able to read anything.
And I didn't "enlarge" it, this is how it comes stock.

The dock size remains the same

at that resolution and scale, everything can do great font rendering you mongoloid.

umm that's wrong sweetie

Attached: .png (2192x1274, 1.06M)

yeah but it only looks huge relative to everything else that is scaled smaller.

>reeee doesn't count
Because macs totally don't use scaling, right? I'm sorry you got owned.

Still looks huge relative to the top virtual desktop list

That doesn't matter you mongoloid
It's still fucking massive in relation to the rest of the screen

because the screen is tiny you mongrel
