Font rendering breaks after update to v14(Bug?)
-
I was update vivaldi 1.13.1008.34-1 -> 1.14.1077.45-1. After restart browser I see ugly font rendering.
Vivaldi 13:
Vivaldi 14:
The best case is to open both images in neighboring tabs and switch between them.
Vivaldi 14 renders fonts exactly like clear Chrome.Are I should to add new bug report for this?
-
@hxss The fault is very obvious in your screen shots.
I loaded one in IrfanView fullscreen @ 1:1 and used left/right buttons to switch between them. Most of the problem seems to be caused by the width of the lowercase "t", which is very odd.

@pesala this is not the only 't' problem. All chars have broken width/position. Check word "employed" in last line - 'm', 'y', dots over 'i'. This is native Chrome mechanism of font rendering on Linux.

@gwen-dragon bug report VB-37716. The problem not only with my main font.
OS: Arch Linux 4.15.3-1-zen
DE: XFCE 4.12.4-1
fontconfig 2.12.6+5+g665584a-1
Fontconfig: https://gist.github.com/hxss/1090b76345a450117e127b05b80bb7f4
My main sans font(on which the most changes are noticeable): Google Roboto(https://fonts.google.com/specimen/Roboto), installed from community: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/any/ttf-roboto/Examples: https://imgur.com/a/YwhlW
upd.: And in v13 Roboto looks good.

@gwen-dragon acceleration enabled (this is I write here about video acceleration on Skylake)
Here is DejaVu(don't like this fat font):

Images added to imgur album.
Upd.: and here is Chrome Version 64.0.3282.167 (Official Build) (64-bit):

@gwen-dragon
Does the bad rendering happen with Disabled HWA?
Yes.
-
@gwen-dragon the problem appeared after upgrade Vivaldi to v14. I didn't change fontconfig or other pkg's. The problem only in Vivaldi v14 and in Chrome Official.

Did you try to erase and rescan existing font cache files?
fc-cache -rv
-
-
@wernerfp any news?
-
hey @hxss , I'm not sure if can help but, looking the features of Fontforge there's a voice that say:
- This package also provides these programs and utilities:
fontimage - produce a font thumbnail image;
fontlint - checks the font for certain common errors;
sfddiff - compare two font files.
It can be downloaded from Manager, or you can go here.
- This package also provides these programs and utilities:
-
@marko-indaco as I said above the problem is not only about Roboto. All fonts(including default Dejavu) have bugs in v14.
@Gwen-Dragon Do you doing something with this bug? Can I help you something? Do you test VM that I share above?
