  • I really don't think this is correct. It is possible that you're just not able to notice the blurriness due to the scaling method used, the resolution of the display and the fact that text rendering tends to be blurred nowadays anyway [0], but I'm 95% sure that you'll be looking at blurred output, as documented [1]:

    > An integer is recommended, but fractional values are also supported. If a fractional value are specified, be warned that it is not possible to faithfully represent the contents of your windows - they will be rendered at the next highest integer scale factor and downscaled.

    I've just tried it again myself and can observe the downscaling. I can provide screenshots later demonstrating the scaling artifacts if anyone is really interested.

    [0] I configure my systems to perform crisper font rendering using `FREETYPE_PROPERTIES=truetype:interpreter-version=35`, along with some extra fontconfig options. This results in glyphs being aligned with actual pixel boundaries, reducing the need for antialias blurring.
