General

Martin Sourada took a look[1] at font antialiasing and what makes fonts look ugly. In a further post, Martin answered[2] the more general question "Why is my design blurry?"

In the continuing journey of libguestfs Richard W.M. Jones added[3],[4],[5] support for working with the Windows registry form a Linux guest. Apparently you can also[6] mount guest filesystems on the host filesystem using FUSE (the example provided even mounts a Windows guest's NTFS filesystem to a Linux host).

Tim Lauridsen demonstrated[7] a new feature of yum in Fedora 12: history, "that makes it possible to see what happened in part of a transaction and redo/undo past transactions."

Paul W. Frields outlined[8] some of the new features to be found in the Fedora 12 beta.

Peter Hutterer explained[9] what goes in to the X Windowing system release (now that X11R7.5 has been released).

Máirín Duffy displayed[10] the new default wallpaper slated for Fedora 12. Shiny!

Richard Hughes built[11] a tool (still in its early stages) to deal with ICC Color management under GNOME.
