Ubuntu, so Gnome desktop. Check this out with your zoomer.

I suspect "best contrast" would look more like what you're seeing on your Mac.

(Saved for other comparos)

Zoomed ridiculously, clearly the contrast Is higher for the 'assembled pixel-blocks', but the smoothed sample reveals its method: can see the use of color to smooth via illusion; clever lads.. Smooth beats highest-contrast, yet from one angle, technically: via added-fuzziness!

This font display shows it perfectly. Thanks

New That ain't "Bitstream" in that thar piccy
You need to select the right font names in there...

Those is just the default fonts that come with Gnome.

And Remember... these are taken at 72dpi... being the default for the screen capture stuffs.

New Oh yeah
I mostly use Firefox and Gimp on this lappy, so I forgot to set the desktop defaults to Bitstream after my last reload. Thanks for the reminder.
