Hi, I am not a native speaker, please endure my poor English.
I have been using evince for a while and i noticed that evince does not respect my system settings of font rendering when displaying pdf files. I have searched the web and find several threads and pages talking about this issue. Several different patches exist to solve this problem. In most cases, the patch hard-code the subpixel settings in function pdf_page_render. However, these kind of patches were rejected because of the coding style. My question is since evince is apparently a gnome application, why not use the according gconf to initialize the appropriate cario_font_options_t and pass it to the surface? IMHO, poppler is a library and thus it does not necessarily provide the user settings of the system. It should be the library user's (in this case, evince) responsibility to set the according variables sensible. I am not familiar with all the fontconfig, cairo, poppler thing, and I am not sure if getting the subpixel rendering is as simple as setting the appropriate font options. If it is not the case, please ignore this nonsense. Thank you for you kind attention. _______________________________________________ evince-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/evince-list
