I was already using FontSmoothing=2 which was some improvement over nothing, but I didn't know these other settings. FontSmoothingType=2 made things much better, the others didn't seem to have any effect.<br>
<br>
However, I then discovered that with FontSmoothingType=2, a Java app I run in Wine crashes when it opens. :( The interesting item out of the Java stack trace is:<br>
<br>
Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: 0 incompatible with Text-specific LCD contrast key<br>
<br>
Quite why Java is getting involved at this level I don't really know. Running on Windows with the same font smoothing settings it works fine.<br>
<br>
Puzzling ...
