--- Comment #24 from Adam Fontenot <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Miklos Vajna from comment #23) > However, Caolan recently worked on improving the result of text layout, see > bug 144862. Does that help here? I haven't checked in detail. I was able to sort-of test this by downloading a nightly from the 7.3 branch and one from the latest master. I was able to repro this issue on the 7.3 branch, but not the master branch. The changes you linked seem like the most plausible candidate for having fixed this. In fact, font rendering on 7.4 is significantly better than just fixing this one issue would suggest. *Subpixel positioning* appears to be working, which isn't even supposed to be possible (if my understanding of bug 103322 is correct). But I am definitely seeing different subpixel alignments for the same glyph. Maybe someone knows how? I'm honestly blown away by the improvement. Kudos. In the 7.4 nightly, enabling pair kerning generates a clear improvement as expected - small corrections to letter spacing behave exactly as expected. To confirm that this issue is fixed and not some mistake on my part, it would be nice to be able to isolate the commits that fixed it, but it looks like not all the commits involved in adding the new glyph positioning mode are linked in bug 144862. Could these be identified? (I might even backport them so that I don't have to wait for a beta to use the new glyph positioning code.) -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
