So I've been researching something called cognitive strain. How easy it hard it is to interpret data cause increases in cognitive function or memory retention. I've been putting together some information on this, wondering if this is more popular than I realize.
Tldr harder to read text makes your mind work "better"

your screenshot looks blurry on my pc :^)

You still have the default bloatware

The fuck are you talking about, that kana is quite good

What abomination of a browser. Kys

so what's best? slight (auto) hinting and antialiasing? Hinting looks ass when in full, looks crisp but it gets spaced like shit. There is anything else?

kek

depends on your monitor retard

ok retard, so when is which better?

It even says Windows in the picture

Attached: tokyo.png (3256x1686, 1.88M)

slight hinting because it preserves correct width
auto-hinting can often look better than the built-in hints so experiment with forcing it
if your freetype has been compiled with ClearType anti-aliasing then enable LCD filtering (normal or light should be fine)

WinXP with ClearType off?

What are you trying to achieve by placing taskbar on the top. You get the same screen real-estate on 16:9 display.

XP had grey-scale AA too
that looks like AA was completely turned off

It's a pointless comparison if you're not using the same font and font size.

Here's mine.

Windows XP even had cleartype subpixel RGB.

And vastly superior non-cleartype greyscale anti-aliasing.

Attached: Tokyo.png (1326x728, 370K)

the lcd filter is probably the biggest player after aliasing and hinting, ubuntu has perfect defaults for example

>Windows XP even had cleartype subpixel RGB.
yes, I know
I was pointing out it had grey-scale AA as well
>And vastly superior non-cleartype greyscale anti-aliasing.
just about anything is superior to ClearType
Microsoft has all the fucking patents but the result still looks like shit because they're a company of talentless hacks

the LCD filter is only needed with ClearType
freetype's own subpixel AA works differently and doesn't need it, but is disabled if you compile it with ClearType
which is why you need to check how your distro compiles freetype

I already wear glasses. If you cannot see the blurry-ass text in that picture, I'd suggest you see your eye doctor.

MacOS>=Windows>Android>shit>linux distro

I cannot see the blurry text; Is that because my vision is 6/6? Well, Thank you for your caring, user. By the way, do not forget cleaning your glasses.

I like the italics. What's the font?

Lucida Std

I just use Arch as is, with hinting set to high. Pretty much everything that isn't macOS is fine.

>muh blurry text
If anything, font rendering is the most repulsive thing about macs. They pay no attention to hinting, and treat your display like a printer.

Why do every linux distro have shit fonts and rendering?

Because you're supposed to set it up yourself. They can't just give you windows fonts, and they can't distribute binaries of Freetype2 that implement ClearType® (you need to compile it yourself). Getting your shit to look good takes effort, I'm sorry you can't just have what you want without putting in the needed effort.

What show are you subbing?

nice dwm also is it possible to get mac like font rendering in gnu/linux

>i am literally retarded
I can't believe we've come to the point where you can just flat out say this on Jow Forums and not feel any shame about it.

thats pretty decent actually. still it hurts my eyes, some blurring might actually be preferable.
nice job

true type fonts are bloat
bitmap ftw

>time travelers

This is much nicer to my eyes than most stuff here. How to achieve this on windows?

mostly because Apple couldn't make the font rendering work well so they threw more pixels at it

>The company known for accurate typography couldn't make font rendering work well
lmao

Attached: 1554027532381 (1).png (535x460, 349K)

font rendering is surprisingly difficult, and Apple earned most of their typography credit in a time before LCD displays and their associated problems
legacy doesn't translate well into present, or, in other words, Apple used to be the leading printer company but that doesn't do anything for them now either
whichever way I look at it you're a retard spamming well-worn cliches

>That company that considered typography so important, they transitioned their screens over to high PPI
>nearly a decade before it even started to become common outside phones
It's your fault for using low PPI displays in 2019. Proper looking text is just one of many benefits.

> chromatic aberration on text
that's pretty epic, gamer dude

Antialiasing with slight hinting is all you need.

Well at least Macs are not shit at everything

>you're holding it wrong
and well-worn excuses it seems
proper looking text is possible even on standard DPIs - both Windows and Linux accomplished it years ago
so what's the deal with Apple?

I'm just memeing, I do use true type fonts in browser, but for WM and terminal crispiness of bitmap fonts cannot be matched

Font is: Sitka Small - started using it after stumbled on a research paper where its creators do a review of older research and do a lot of experimental stuff + dialogue with scientists to develop a font that reflects everything we knew to that point.
