I tried different font settings in the font settings and it didn’t improve much (font hinting, anti aliasing, custom DPI settings, different font size)

The font is the default one which is Ubuntu Regular with font size set to 10

Sub pixel order is set properly to RGB Linux Mint xfce

Even when running windows in a virtual machine, the font rendering in it is miles ahead of what I got on my Linux setup!!!

      0024:err:winediag:is_broken_driver Broken NVIDIA RandR detected, falling back to RandR 1.0. Please consider using the Nouveau driver instead.

        This error is caused by a compatibility issue between Wine’s RandR (X11 display extension) implementation and the NVIDIA proprietary drivers.

        a. Install winetricks and run winetricks orm=backbuffer glsl=disable This will configure Wine to use a different rendering method that is compatible with the NVIDIA drivers.

        &/Or

        b. Use a tool like Q4Wine to configure the Wine prefix and set the “UseRandR” option to “N” This will disable Wine’s use of the RandR extension and use a fallback method instead.

        That should fix it.

          Thanks! But I think I will stick with the open source drivers as LibreOffice now runs much faster! Opening and scrolling through the fonts list used to get the GPU utilization to go all the way to 80 to 100% and it was so slow it took the system to register my keyboard Inputs a few seconds but now the issue disappeared!
