This might be a particularly interesting angle to investigate, given the history of the Freetype library used by most open source operating systems. For a long time, certain features of font rendering were not built into the versions of Freetype shipped by strongly FOSS-oriented distros due to concerns about possible patent issues. I've noticed that some of these concerns seem to have "expired" lately, but the situation could be different on different distros, or maybe even different versions of the same distro. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FreeType#History -- jys ____________________________________________________________________________ darktable user mailing list to unsubscribe send a mail to [email protected]
