Summary: autihinting has no effect on DejavuSansMono with freetype 2.4.6 (patch found) https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=746920 Summary: autihinting has no effect on DejavuSansMono with freetype 2.4.6 (patch found) Product: Fedora Version: rawhide Platform: Unspecified OS/Version: Unspecified Status: NEW Severity: unspecified Priority: unspecified Component: freetype AssignedTo: [email protected] ReportedBy: [email protected] QAContact: [email protected] CC: [email protected], [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] Classification: Fedora Story Points: --- Type: --- Hello, here is a summary of the problem: - with freetype 2.4.2, DejavuSansMono is rendered normally; - with freetype 2.4.6, DejavuSansMono and the other fonts are rendered badly (badly means here "not in the same way as with 2.4.2"): after some googling, I have found it is due to the fact that the bytecode interpreter is now enabled, and the workaround is to use autohinting: "ln -s /etc/fonts/conf.avail/10-autohint.conf /etc/fonts/conf.d/" This works great, but not for DejavuSansMono. After trying freetype 2.4.5 without having any problem, I found it: it is the patch http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/freetype/freetype2.git/commit/?id=b0962ac34e66052ccfee7996e5468f30d4bd5a72 that is faulty. Without it, DejavuSansMono is rendered normally using the last 2.4.6 sources and autohinting.
