This reverts commit 945566ff43583e4f8102b4440c88f53dae775cb4. As discussed on the mailing lists and with Humdinger off-list: * The general design concensus tends slightly towards DejaVu, as metrics of DejaVu look much better (DejaVu 12 and Noto 13 are roughly the same size, but Noto has much wider margins with that) * While Noto does have a wider set of fonts with support for lots of different languages, DejaVu actually has built-in support for more Unicode languages (the default Noto has, as far as I can tell, only Latin/Greek/Cyrillic [2416 glyphs], while DejaVu also has Armenian, Georgian, and a few other scripts too [5119 glyphs].) * The worse rendering of DejaVu appears to have been somewhat rectified by disabling the average-based subpixel filter in app_server.
Haiku
Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs
Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.
Compiling Haiku
See ReadMe.Compiling.
Contributing
Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!
