For those not l33t enough to translate the cryptic binary message on this April Fool's Day Thinkgeek T-Shirt, I've saved you the trouble of decyphering it:
"I shopped at ThinkGeek on April Fools Day, and all I got was this lousy shirt!"
What I have done is taken a screenshot, loaded the hack, snapped another screenshot, then compared the two. The fonts after using the hack look proportionally better, as in they don't look like there are some bolder, some lighter, or some smaller on various characters. That's about the only good thing.
Other than that, the fonts look dreadfully blurred and faded. The courier font in black looks more like it's grey. Also, the smaller fonts are so blurred they're giving me a headache. For instance, the fonts on the right-side of the/. front page are about half the size, and there are little particles very slightly above the fonts, seemingly seperate from the font.
KDE/Qt with XFree font aliasing without the hack looks a great deal better, if ya ask me. The problem is that some fonts look blotched, but atleast they're not giving me migranes trying to read them.
GNOME is so much better than KDE. I mean... it has those big fat diluted icons, for starters. And the window decors look like chizzled rocks (I like that) with plain graphics and usability that make it so much more easy to understand what it really takes to make an applet display on the screen before you apply any of the accessibilty features. GNOME lets the user learn such things like humbleness and appreciation. Thanks gnome *** two thumbs up and smile ***
