For my work I have to look at web pages EXACTLY as they appear on
Windows (with the same appearance, dimension and spacing).
With OpenBSD 4.1, I disabled fonts antialias and recompiled the FreeType
library with the patented TrueType hinting. It worked perfectly, and
msttcorefonts appear exactly as they do on Windows.
Now I tried to upgraded my desktop PC to OpenBSD 4.5, but I wasn't able
to activate the TrueType hinting.
I have commented out the "#define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_UNPATENTED_HINTING"
line in "xenocara/lib/freetype/include/freetype/config/ftoption.h" and
recompiled the library. The change had some effect because the library
changed it's size, but there was NO change in font appearance.
I tried with Firefox, Thunderbid, Pidgin... They all continue to show
ugly fonts (without hints).
What I missed?
Please give me any hint, I cannot remain with 4.1 forever... :-(
Thanks.
