I'm having some trouble narrowing this down but here are the results of my tests:
Remote X font rendering changed: gedit 2.28.4 (Consolas) gedit 2.28.4 (DejaVu Sans Mono) Eclipse 4.2 (Consolas) gtk-demo (GTK2) Local font rendering unchanged: gedit 3.6.2 (Consolas) gtk3-widget-factory gtk-demo (GTK2) > Are you sure this odd rendering appears on all applications, and > isn't tied to a particular toolkit (Qt, gtk, etc. )?I don't have any good candidates to test this with, as I'm only familiar with gtk applications.
Attached are the results from xdpyinfo. On 6/11/2013 2:03 PM, Jon TURNEY wrote:

But when running the same application using the -multiwindow switch, fonts are rendered oddly and are difficult to read. Here are some examples: Correct (full screen or rootless): http://codespunk.com/files/upload/x_font.png Incorrect (multiwindow): http://codespunk.com/files/upload/x_font_mw.png I prefer running as multiwindow because each application has its own unique window for focus. In rootless mode all of the X windows come to the front when one is selected. Does anyone know why fonts are rendering differently? Can this be fixed?Thanks for reporting this issue. This is pretty odd. I have no idea what the cause is. Are you sure this odd rendering appears on all applications, and isn't tied to a particular toolkit (Qt, gtk, etc. )? You might start by looking at the dimensions and dpi details for "screen #0" reported by xdpyinfo, and see if there is a difference between these two modes.
