--- Comment #3 from Marek Kašík <[email protected]> --- The new hinting engine was already present in F26. This issue seems to be the one mentioned in freetype's 2.8 release notes: - `Light' auto-hinting mode no longer uses TrueType metrics for TrueType fonts. This bug was introduced in version 2.4.6, causing horizontal scaling also. Almost all GNU/Linux distributions (with Fedora as a notable exception) disabled the corresponding patch for good reasons; chances are thus high that you won't notice a difference. If optical backward compatibility for legacy applications is necessary, you might enable the AF_CONFIG_OPTION_TT_SIZE_METRICS configuration option. However, it is strongly recommended to avoid that, adjusting font sizes instead. Could you attach here screenshots from F27 and F26 ("dnf downgrade freetype* --releasever=26")? I see a difference in sharpness, the F27 version seems a little sharper than the one from F26. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ fonts-bugs mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
