I just installed a fresh install of jaunty, and I noticed that the fonts were somewhat larger (and blurrier?) than my other partition with jaunty that had been upgraded from intrepid. Has anyone noticed this? Some have complained about the subpixel rendering, but it looks like mine is working fine.

In Appearance Preferences, go to the "Fonts" tab. Check the box for "Subpixel smoothing" (this is assuming you are using an LCD). Click "Details," Then the check the box "Full."

This made my fonts look much crisper. Also, you can change the font type & size in the same "Fonts" tab in "Appearance Preferences" if the fonts or font sizes aren't to your liking.

Hope this helped :)
