--- Comment #114 from Mike FABIAN <[email protected]> --- Created attachment 656570 --> https://bugzilla.redhat.com/attachment.cgi?id=656570&action=edit liberation-sans-1-autohint=false-different-hintstyles.png This shows rendering for Liberation Sans 1.07 using rgba=rgb hinting=true autohint=false always and compares the results for hintstyle={hintfull,hintmedium,hintslight,hintnone} As you can see in the screenshots, hintfull uses the byte code interpreter for sharp rendering. The results for hintmedium, hintslight, and hintnone are all identical, all fuzzy. Using anything else but "hintfull" seems to disable hinting completely when autohint=false. The byte code hinting does not have different hintstyles, it is either on or off. So only hintfull really makes sense together with autohint=false. With autohint=true, the hintstyle option has an influence, i.e. the hintstyle option makes sense only when using the autohinter. But of course with the autohinter, one can never get the extremely sharp rendering one can get with liberation sans 1.07 and the byte code interpreter. Comment#111, Ilya> You should set hintfull to get normal result with Liberation. Yes, if you want to use the very good byte code in liberation 1.07, you should set hintstyle=hintfull. Comment#112, Ilya> Without hinbtfull and with subpixel you'll get rainbow. My screenshots above use subpixel rendering. So the leftmost screenshot, which uses hintstyle=hintfull, autohint=false, shows some colour fringes. But only a little bit, it is much sharper then the other 3 screenshots for hintstyle={hintmedium,hintslight,hintnone}. I prefer rgba=none hinting=true autohint=false hintstyle=hintfull for liberation sans 1.07, i.e. without even the slight color fringes. So I seem to prefer the same rendering Ilya prefers. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ fonts-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fonts-bugs http://fonts.fedoraproject.org/
