My appologies. It must have been a trick of the text I passed to p-v. Using 'Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer' to match ft-diff's default text I also now see results which match the autohint -delta. >> As a side note, fc-match(1) tells me that 8 pt at 96 dpi is 10⅔ px; a >> 10⅔ px font at my display’s 133 dpi is approximently 5 7/9 pt.

There's also AS> the fact that e.g. Webkit has hardcoded 96 dpi. It obviously depends a lot on the display's resolution. The best thing I did for comfortable browsing was to configure gecko to use my font and ignore whatever nonsensical font spec spewing from any websites I visit. I'm sure Behdad would accept a patch for pango and/or harbuzz, as applicable, to make use of the delta info from ft. I'd also expect Nokia to accept one for Qt. -JimC -- James Cloos <[email protected]> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 _______________________________________________ Freetype mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype
