Splash Fonts Jagged/Bumpy - Not Smooth

[0pLuS0]

Hi,

On Slackware 15.0 using grub 2.06, when I'm at the grub splash screen the fonts for the OS are all jagged/bumpy, they are not smooth, sharp, clear...

I tried using two different fonts in Slack, but the results were the same, this is what I tried;

First I tried;

GRUB_FONT=/usr/share/grub/dejavusansmono.pf2

Then I tried;

GRUB_FONT=/usr/share/grub/unifont.pf2

Here's a screen shot, blow it up, and you'll notice the tops/bottoms of the fonts are bumpy and the sides/edges jagged, it looks like this on my box.

Here is a copy of my /etc/default/grub;

grub.txt

I am also using this theme Tela and the fonts are very sharp/clear/crsip;

It's actually normal because grub doesn't do a great job dealing with curves and blur effects, so that's why it appears to be pixelated. More smoother the font more pixelated it will be. Read more about that here

From all the fonts I tried the ones that looks not too shabby are Terminus (really crisp) and DejaVu Sans

I'm trying to find a replacement for the current font, hopefully I can find a nice one and it should be fixed in the next update

I'd say, have a look at the thems I posted to see what's going on there...

What themes? You mean Vince's https://github.com/vinceliuice/grub2-themes ? then yeah, like I said it uses DejaVu Sans

[0pLuS0]

Yes, their themes, sorry...

I guess then the JetBrains you are using causes this..

Thanks

Yeah, and not only JetBrains if you try to use any Bold or curvy fonts you will see the same issue. I didn't use Terminus and DejaVu Sans because they are just basic common fonts and I wanted to use something different. From all the fonts I tested, JetBrains was the least pixelated one

Hmm, it's very pixelated on my 24" @1920x1080, not clean at all...
