Description Médéric Boquien 2012-01-29 09:15:28 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

The numbers in the matrix layout in the left part of the calendar are blurry, contrary to other elements in the calendar

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Left-click on the digital clock in the panel.

Actual Results:  
The calendar shows up but the numbers in the matrix layout are blurry. Other elements appear to be fine.

Expected Results:  
The font is identical as for other elements

I attach a screenshot where the problem appears.

Hi,
I can confirm this issue with 4.8.2.
The font looks even more ugly when excluding the used font size from anti-aliasing.

Please also see the attached screenshot. It seems the calendar table uses a different font (settings) for the cells than for the month selector and the holiday list.

I'm experiencing this issue since I upgraded from 4.7.4 to 4.8.1

I also noticed this. Given a system which is set up mostly to be 8 point Tahoma with hinting and no antialising, these default fonts rather jump out at me.  

I just spotted another instance of it:

System-settings - > Input devices -> keyboard -> Layout tab 
The label has the wrong font. See screenshot - where the mouse cursor is.

Hello!

This bug report was filed for KDE Plasma 4, which reached end-of-support status in August 2015. KDE Plasma 5's desktop shell has been almost completely rewritten for better performance and usability, so it is likely that this bug is already resolved in Plasma 5.

Accordingly, we hope you understand why we must close this bug report. If the issue described  here is still present in KDE Plasma 5.12 or later, please feel free to open a new ticket in the "plasmashell" product after reading https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting

If you would like to get involved in KDE's bug triaging effort so that future mass bug closes like this are less likely, please read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Bug_Triaging

Thanks for your understanding!

Nate Graham
