NB - i disabled the detecting of "can freetype do bytecode hinting" etc. because many distributions had broken freetype headers that say freetype can't do it, when it can, for example (or vice-versa). see these images: http://www.rasterman.com/files/e17-hinting-bytecode.png http://www.rasterman.com/files/e17-hinting-auto.png http://www.rasterman.com/files/e17-hinting-none.png that is what you should see for each hinting mode. if you don't there is something wrong with your freetype build or freetype itself. i have seen before that there have been bugs in some versions of freetype regarding hints. > at this moment I'm playing with the font settings, and I'm seeing > that increasing the size of displayed font (from the default 10.0 to > 11.0) makes bytecode hinting looks much better. > > now, with bytecode hinting, the text of tclock doesn't move anymore > when displaying the number 3... it moves when displaying the number > 4... arghh!! :°( > > > -- > Massimo Maiurana massimo<at>ragusa.linux.it > http://massimo.solira.org GPG keyID #7044D601 > > Articolo 11 - L'Italia ripudia la guerra come strumento di offesa > alla libertà degli altri popoli e come mezzo di risoluzione delle > controversie internazionali.... > > > > -- ------------- Codito, ergo sum - "I code, therefore I am" -------------- The Rasterman (Carsten Haitzler) [EMAIL PROTECTED] 裸好多 Tokyo, Japan (東京 日本) ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more?
