The notion you expressed that adding features to the freetype backend goes against a goal of encouraging application developers to move to client side fonts, and with the corollary that perhaps such code should be excluded for that reason. Nothing more and nothing less. >If you (or somebody else) has the time to read and understand >Chisato's code right now, please do. I have read the code enough to see that the changes are consistent with the changelog that accompanied them. I don't claim to understand all of the finer points (and a more detailed review is certainly welcome). I'm encouraged by the fact that the After X-TT Project has been working on and fixing a number of stability problems, and eliminating the need for two "truetype" backends for the XFree86 server. The code has been committed, and needs testing. If no significant problems are found, it can remain for the 4.4 release.
