Evernote 4.x Tips

Improve Evernote fonts

Evernote works VERY well in cx11, however, one of the issues I have had was with font rendering not working right. 

When I loaded a font (almost any font) it was always jagged and ugly.  In order to improve this (dramatically in my case) I followed the instructions from this site: 
http://alien.slackbook.org/blog/better-font-rendering-in-wine/


Here's the summmary of the article: 

Make the following changes to the registry to enable sub-pixel font rendering:

Browse to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] and create/update the following “DWord” values (note: the DWord values are hexadecimal, which is the default for entering values in regedit.exe). You may have to create several of these, since by default only the “FontSmoothing” registry setting is present:

"FontSmoothing"="2"
"FontSmoothingType"=dword:00000002
"FontSmoothingGamma"=dword:00000578
"FontSmoothingOrientation"=dword:0000000

Then, restart your Wine applications and watch the difference in font rendering. The jagged edges should have disappeared. As an example, here are two screenshots from sections of winefile, before and after the registry hack. Click on the images to see the full version. Thedefault font used in winefile is quite small (6 point) but here it makes the changes in fort rendering even more obvious.
