Hi
The switch to cairo as the default backend was a step that I should
have
done right after the last release. Doing so now is just not
advisable.
Or is it?
I think not, libart should stick for this release, cairo will be for
the next.
Cairo has some problems here and there, although it is reasonably
usable for the day usage.
For example cairo has troubles with displaying (big) images, it can
suddenly say it cannot allocate shared memory and then gets slooowww
Can you give a detailed list of all these problems? Are they reported
in the bug tracker?
There are problems with Art too.
- GSReadRect is broken in Art, see https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?23333
- Pattern drawing doesn't work well
However Art works better than Cairo for -compositeToPoint and -
drawInRect without my patch, but it doesn't handle the scaling between
the fromRect and toRect correctly.
Quentin.
