I tried both(gpu and display) image scaling

$ glxinfo 
name of display: :0
display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes
server glx vendor string: ATI
server glx version string: 1.4

$ fglrxinfo 
display: :0  screen: 0

OK, it is bug and was fixed in catalyst 14.6. But there are so ugly fonts. :-(

Use the Infinality fonts provided by boohomil?  They are possibly the best font set I've ever used. I wish I had it in Windows sometimes!

Out of the box, the fonts will suck.

Go through the following wiki https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Font_configuration and configure your fonts. You also need to make sure you have a couple good fonts installed. Then setup the hinting, filter etc and it will be much improved.

I have used Infinality in the past and it works very well as well but made too many changes, one of which resulted in an issue with an app that was difficult to track down. Haven't used it lately so do not know the status.

Thanks for reply ... Ugly fonts wasnt system problem. I use vga cable and I had to recalibrate monitor in portrait mode
