I admit I don't know how printing specific rendering is being done. Is it that antialiasing and hinting are turned off because printer resolution is much higher than screen and it wouldn't make sense to leave them on? (no visible effect?) > Problems happen when fontconfig rules blindly override such information (bug > 17722 Sorry for discussing bug 17722 here, but how come that rules in 10-sub- pixel-*.conf can override anything? Isn't it how defaults supposed to be set, giving that "50-user.conf" can override it later and any "low- level" fontconfig user can do the same if needed? (and virtually all Xft.rgba touching stuff does it anyway? Or doesn't? Or is xrm/fc priority issue? See? This should be nuked.) -- fontconfig does not honor hintslight, hintmedium, hintfull https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/200707 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Registry Administrators, which is the registrant for libcairo. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~registry Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~registry More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
