GTK 4.14 To Provide Crisper Font Rendering, Better Fractional Scaling

The upcoming GTK 4.14 toolkit release with the new renderers should yield crisper font rendering.

Red Hat's Matthias Clasen wrote a blog post today around fractional scaling and font rendering improvements to enjoy with the upcoming GTK 4.14 release. Clasen notes he moved from the "large text" setting over to 125% fractional scaling with the latest GTK code thanks to the new renderers. The updated toolkit will yield more crisp font rendering especially for desktops utilizing fractional scaling.

Those wanting to learn more about the fractional scaling and font rendering improvements with the imminent GTK 4.14 release can do so via the GTK.org blog.
