But this release mixes the best of both worlds. Nice rounding and no mist on straight lines. Only letters like W and y are still not perfect, but we are getting there. Only one thing: the plf package uses pattented hinting from windows which imho looks quite bad compared to this. Only now I have to override urpmi's behaviour to get the latest versions and ignore the plf package. I suppose there are people who prefer the plf way so I am afraid this is the only solution. :| > They will be in Freetype 2.1.4 (I don't plan to merge them in > cooker package since they may have side effects and I prefer to wait > for them to be "stabilized" in Freetype CVS, if necessary.. Hmmm yes it would be very open source like to get all parameters that David Chester tweaked in faders so you can decide for yourself how you want your fonts antialiased. /me is daydreaming a bit. # Han -- http://www.xs4all.nl/~hanb/software
