Its just my personal opinion, but I would recommend not implementing it. Xorg falls back to software anyway for anything more complex than solid rectangles and blits and those code-paths will only be triggered for non-antialised rendering with solid colors. Implementing it in Pisces would help every backend OpenJDK supports :) Just checked and I also ignore the STROKE_CONTROL stuff completly in the cairo based Jules rasterizer. Curious how that could be mapped to Cairo, do you know any more in-depth explanation how it works - or examples how it should look like? Thanks, Clemens
