The font rendering engine used in OpenSolaris, like Linux & BSD,
is the open source FreeType project - improvements to it should
be made in the upstream project so they benefit all users of it
(and because they know far more about font rendering than anyone
 here does, so would be better able to do design & code review
 and discuss the areas in which improvements can and cannot be
 made, especially with the tricky minefield of patents around
 font rendering techniques).
