Not So Fast With the Praise

March 13, 2006

Since I wrote the previous entry, something happened that caused me to think seriously about pulling it from the page. I installed a massive OS upgrade, from 10.4.0 to 10.4.5

The upgrade process itself went flawlessly, but after the re-boot, the fonts that I was admiring moments before now looked fat and fuzzy. Several more re-boots, and some tweaking of the font smoothing properties had no helpful effect. I even searched for solutions on the web, only to find other people in the same boat, but no real answers that would restore things to how they were before. Finally I ran the Repair permissions feature of Disk Utility.

Eureka. Just like that, although I suspect that it’s not as perfect as it was this morning. But then, I may just be pixel peering again…
