That was a long time ago in the 1.7 branch. Freetype LCD filtering has never been in a stable release of Cairo; Ubuntu has been patching it in. > In PDF rendering we cannot follow the desktop settings because > only slight hinting and the across-pixel filter work properly on > PDFs. Those are the default desktop settings these days on Ubuntu, right? But anyway, why should PDFs need to be any different than the rest of the desktop? -- No subpixel rendering https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/80921 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
