Hi Juan, Yes, that is some of the best TTF non-hinted rendering I've seen. Nice work! And, yes, it does look like the bug is gone, thanks! It will be interesting to look through a simplified, stand-alone(ish) version of the code to fully grasp the detail of your approach. Again, no rush,

Agreed. these are impressive! I was curious about the defensive disclosure. Are you intending to patent this work or simply preventing a non-open source implementation from claiming patent infringements? I’d be curious to try and recreate some of these results :) shawn On Sep 24, 2014, at

Hi Shawn, I'm not intending to patent it. But I want to avoid others to patent it and restrict my right (and yours) to use it. Feel free to use it as you please. The code is MIT license, as is Cuis Smalltalk. In any case, I'd appreciate reasonable and fair attribution of the ideas in stuff you,
