Having upgraded from Imlib2 1.2.1.004 to 1.2.1.009, I've observed a font rendering bug that was present in the 1.2.0 series (which had been fixed when I upgraded to 1.2.1.004) has returned. There is no problem with 004, but as of 005 it seems to have returned.
The problem is that for some fonts, characters that render below the baseline (for example, the letter 'g') get clipped by a couple pixels. Not all fonts are affected, like for example Vera or Tahoma, but some are, like Arial and Times. See the attached two images, which illustrate the problem. Since this was a problem that existed in 1.2.0, went away at least as of 1.2.1.004, and has subsequently returned, I'm hoping that this is one of those obvious oopses that takes moments to fix. :) Note that the font metrics returned are the same in each version, so this problems seems to be limited to rendering. Also, when using Evas to render the font, this problem doesn't exist. Cheers, Jason.
