Question Font / Text Display Question
I believe I've seen this mentioned before, although I can't find it anywhere. I have RHL8 installed. It fully supports my video card, monitor, etc., runs at a fine resolution, all that good stuff. Fonts, however, look... crummy. Sorry I can't be much more descriptive. for example, I can't make out the words in the text box in the "vB Code" section of this page at all. Oh, and it's not just a single browser or anything, it's pretty much anwhere small text is displayed. It's not a basic display problem, as pictures are very sharp. Does anyone have a suggested reason / fix for this?

Try doing a search on "Redhat 8 disable anti-aliasing small fonts".

oops, sorry Lynch, thought I had responded before. Thanks, I'm looking into it... the only option I can find with that is to turn of anti-aliasing all together, and that just makes small AND big fonts look bad Right now I'm going back and forth with tech support from redhat, which is looking promising... thanks again.
