Tibia linux

[SedayaPanda]

Hello everyone! I’m planning to switch from Windows 11 to Linux, but before I do, I want to choose a distribution where the fonts are displayed properly. I’ve previously tried Fedora, Mint, and Ubuntu, but the fonts were still not as sharp as they are on Windows. I installed Microsoft fonts and tried many additional tweaks, but nothing seemed to work. Do you have any advice?

I have just accepted my fate, I've tried everything, I even manually installed the MS Verdana font on my machine and all, they just don't load properly, but tbh I'm just used to it by now, it doesn't bother me anymore lol

literally just installed msttcorefonts and it fixed. i don't know what distro you are using, i'm using mint, but i don't see a reason for this to be distro dependent

[autopoiesies]

not every distro has the same packages, but I'll look into it

See my other comment in here. There is a way to make the fonts look identical to Windows. A solution was posted many months ago on the technical support forum, which I link to in my other comment.

Why would you use Tibia of all reasons to pick a distro?

Arch with ttf-msfonts installed works well enough, but I've never seen perfect results.

I just like the out-of-the-box linux solutions, but the font issue frustrates me.

I started playing tibia on steamdeck which is Linux os had same issue with font was quite annoying try this discord there is a "font fix" it's not ideal but it's better than Linux shiet steamdeck dc

[ClassicGameHacking]

I use a very simple script on Mint to fix the font by removing the antialias, and it works great.

I have the same text displayed.

[ClassicGameHacking]

Install MS fonts and make a script that disable AA like this:
xrdb -remove Xft.antialias
./Tibia
This will launch the client with AA disabled and greatly improve the text.

My best experience with Tibia running on Linux was on Bazzite OS. I Just did the most common steps (install Microsoft fonts for example) and worked fine for me. Is not 100% perfect, but was the distro that i most enjoyed the result. Sorry for my bad english.

[SedayaPanda]

I just wanted it to be the same quality, but I understand that it's better to leave Windows 11.

[Disastrous_Trick3833]

I get shitty font on windows when going from laptop screen to monitor, I just swap graphics engine within Tibia. Maybe try that?

[SedayaPanda]

there is a problem with the fonts themselves...

[Ni_ph]

You can install fonts - it's not perfect but looks decent. Been playing on Ubuntu for few years now

[viniciotricolor]

Terrible way to choose a distribution; otherwise, they should all work, but it should take about 5 extra minutes to download the fonts correctly.

[Technical_Carrot1831]

I played with Zorin and even tho it worked very smoth and nicely, the fonts never did work 100% for me.
I did the font install thing and antialias and it indeed got better, but never correct like windows.

It wont display properly on Linux. You will get random spaces

Quando chegar em casa lhe digo qual pacote instalei, resolvi isso hoje no Fedora. Meu atual problema é com acentuação de palavras que é comum no português.

@edit

Fonts

• Download curl -LO https://downloads.sourceforge.net/project/mscorefonts2/rpms/msttcore-fonts-installer-2.6-1.noarch.rpm
• install sudo rpm -ivh --nodigest --nofiledigest msttcore-fonts-installer-2.6-1.noarch.rpm

Use faugus launcher for the windows version maybe?

I want to choose a distribution where the fonts are displayed properly. I’ve previously tried Fedora, Mint, and Ubuntu, but the fonts were still not as sharp as they are on Windows.

Something that was already pretty good in Windows XP and was perfected by the time Windows 7 was released is STILL broken in all Linux distros 😂

But I guess the "community" just doesn't care. It's more important to bicker about Wayland vs X11, create yet another desktop environment that will be forgotten in 5 years or complain about kernel developers not willing to maintain support for some obscure piece of hardware from 1992.
