blurry text 1

I am using bijiben on a new Lenovo x1 Carbon with a high DPI screen (2560x1440, 14 inch screen -- approx 180 DPI) and the text of the note is rendered blurry (both on the list of notes, and the note itself).

The text at the bottom of the note that lists when the note was last updated is crisp though.

Attached are screenshots of the blurry text.

Comment 2 Pierre-Yves Luyten 2014-09-23 20:45:21 UTC
ok so we have two different components for this bug

- the bug on the WebkitWebView while composing a note. Do you meet similar issue while browing the web with ephy? I will first have a look at WebkitWebSettings / css
- the bug on the thumbnail. It's a Pango text on Cairo surface. I guess I can look more at Pango - btw I needed to look at it to make first row bold.

Thanks for looking at this so quickly!

I just checked on epiphany (epiphany-3.13.91-1.fc21.x86_64), and it seems to be rendering text normally (i.e. not fuzzy)

Added an attachment containing a screenshot of epiphany.

Forgot to add i'm using bijiben-3.13.92-1.fc21 on Fedora 21 alpha.

the first searches only tells me you should not even have a proper rendering onto Ephy.

https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=133378

But your screenshots prove something might be done. "Last updated : today" is a simple GtkWidget, plus ephy seems to work fine despite above link.

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=751683 will take care of the notes icon in the main view.

note edition fixed

note edition is fixed
Comment 9 Pierre-Yves Luyten 2015-07-01 20:18:30 UTC
So, fixed bug 751683 will really help, not only for main view but also "app startup without note" and shell provider.

About note edition, I just attached a screen shot I just performed with GDK_SCALE=2 and I am almost certain WebKit did change something. I'm closing bug but if you want it open before you test, I will gladly reopen it to allow serene testing.
