So, would it be better to provide some facility to control the use of embedded bitmap or not, just like what we can do with AA?? > > > I guess I will have to wait till xft2 is out and about. > > Xft version 2 is nearly shipping; it's part of fcpackage, a collection of > bits needed to use fontconfig on top of an existing X installation. > Gnome2 CVS has already cut over to Xft2; RH (NULL) uses Xft2 and Chris > Blizzard is building Mozilla with Xft2.

I have to try to grab the patch from your site, but doesn't compile correctly, I think I have get a wrong branch of mozilla, or the version of the fcpackage / ft2 is not match with the patch. Any way, just want to know whether the mozilla team is willing to use Xft2 + fontconfig.
