@TerrorBite @tech We have a CRT, which I'm not sure subpixel rendering even works well on at all (I think it uses subpixels, but they're not aligned with display signal output pixels). We also have a bog-standard 22" 1080p LCD, we'll need to find a cable for that and see what subpixel antialiasing looks like on that.

I did notice that when we were in the OS installer on our laptop (to back up the OS), the text looked weirdly sharp compared to normal; I bet that was subpixel antialiasing in action. So maybe it is still useful.

But I personally think the disadvantages in dealing with screenshots outweigh the advantages of maybe slightly sharper text. Grayscale antialiasing looks fine.

@sisyphean Oh yikes. KDE asks you if you want to delete the file here.

@Kye @crashdoom "edited -1 times"? /weird/

@Kye @crashdoom Huh, is your server old? Or d'you mean an app?

We're on 3.5.3 (+glitch) and we can see edits just fine on web, and even make them from clients (just not web).
