Title:
fontconfig does not honor hintslight, hintmedium, hintfull
Status in Cairo Graphics Library:
Confirmed
Status in cairo package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
Binary package hint: fontconfig
fontconfig-2.4.2-1.2ubuntu4 does not honor hintslight, hintmedium, hintfull
options for the autohinter.
When I ask fontconfig to use the authinter and specify hintstyle as
hintslight, hintmedium, or hintfull there is no perceptible difference on the
screen. Doing this on a similar Fedora 8 system shows perceptible differences
with all settings.
I also tried downloading and compiling freetype2 with the bytecode
interpreter forced "off" so the autohinter is always used. The font rendering
is certainly the autohinter but there is again no perceptible difference
between hintslight, hintmedium, and hintfull.
I suspect but cannot prove that this might be the result of the fontconfig
"hack" that was made to enable/disable the legacy LCD filter for monospaced
fonts in gutsy.
Ubuntu 7.10 (gutsy)
