Ubuntu's patches for the various font rendering technologies are my #1 must-have software on Linux. Any distro I use is either a Ubuntu or something that has these patches an easy install away. (Arch has them in the AUR, for example)
This has, honestly, been a blind spot of mine and something that has kept me in Ubuntu rather than Arch or Debian. Can you elaborate on what the patches are called and how to replicate Ubuntu's rendering in Arch? Thanks so much.
