which fonts are u using? please, post a screenshot of ur font preferences window

I'm pretty sure that's Tahoma...

From what I know, Gutsy is supposed to have a new font smoothening method, so probably that's the reason why it looks so good.

edit: And for the terminal... just guessing, but it could be a small "monospace" (around 7pt)

Everything is Luxi Sans besides the console font, which is Consolas as you can see. :)

Yes the beta does have new and much improved font rendering, I love it, I have always disliked linux's font rendering so much.

    • I really wonder if this has to do with the built in VPN or "private DNS" of browsers that trip up legal requirements like cookie consent and Cloudflare (to avoid all the botnet attacks we get). And BTW some botnets still manage to get past Cloudflare, we are constantly having to tweak it to block malicious traffic that ultimately cause a DDoS.
    • CPPC states can also be messed around with in most UEFI settings but aren't as robust as the ones that the Windows Scheduler can provide! Make sure you look into what your motherboard also has before customizing for the Windows Scheduler.
