AW: Anti-Aliasing (AA) and FullDrag of course don't come with no cost, but also
both bring huge advantages. AA was the most voted issue ever, we put a lot of
work in implementing and thoroughly looked at each system to get the necessary
speed to make it the new default for OOo 3.1. The default will not be changed,
nearly everyone loves this feature.
We also added the possibility to switch it off for people who do not like/need
it or who's machine maybe do not support AA in hardware, so everyone has it's
alternatives (and we have to keep working code for two alternatives internally
:-(, i'm sure there are developers out there who would have simply removed the
non-aa possibility).
Same goes for FullDrag: It exchanges in the case of FontWork the two vague drag
lines with a full object drag. This is of course more expensive (since it also
will work with re-layouting the object e.g. when resizing), but it greatly
enhances the user's experience and from an ergonomy point of view te first time
ever in OOo history allows a precise interactive placement/modification of
objects.
The same here: You can switch it off when You don't like/need it, for the same
costs as mentioned above.
Of course we will try to further enhance rendering speeds in the future and we
take feedback lite this serious, but we tried it on many systems (also on very
weak ones, e.g. a FuSi U800/U1010) and i could not find a situation where it is
'impossible to work' with FontWork; i re-checked right now before answering. Not
even OOo can avoid to use more ressources with better features over the years.
For the 'bad user experience' it can be argumented if it's better to have ugly
edges and no real preview when dragging or the current combination, even when
it's a little bit slower.
Since both features are configurable, initially switched on by purpose and
increasing rendering speed is on the performance list automatically in all
releases, i do not see this as a defect. Switch the features off if You do not
like/need them or Your hardware is not adequate.
I can keep this task as a reminder for rendering performance and as an
enhancement.
