Re: [racket-dev] draw-text always pixel aligned?

2013-12-17 Thread David Vanderson
Update - according to the cairo developers, this is a limitation of the current implementation of cairo, so there's nothing to be fixed. Thanks again for looking into it! As a workaround, they suggested creating a path from the text and filling it, which works well: #lang racket/gui (defin

I'm not sure about that part. I've confirmed that the cairo_move_to() call just before pango_cairo_show_layout_line() varies the "y" argument by 0.1, and I don't see any options that would affect vertical alignment. At Mon, 16 Dec 2013 10:37:39 -0500, David Vanderson wrote: > That makes sense, but

That makes sense, but the picture with 'unaligned seems strange (attached). It looks like each individual character is being pixel aligned, and also the vertical pixel drop doesn't happen until it's 0.7 pixels down. Does this make sense? On 12/16/2013 08:15 AM, Matthew Flatt wrote: Did you me

Did you mean to pass 'unaligned instead of 'aligned as the last argument to `find-or-create-font`? That should disable pixel alignment. At Mon, 16 Dec 2013 01:28:23 -0500, David Vanderson wrote: > Hello, > > It seems that draw-text always pixel-aligns its text. In the example > below, I draw a b

2013-12-15 Thread David Vanderson
Hello, It seems that draw-text always pixel-aligns its text. In the example below, I draw a black "hello" on top of a red one, with a pixel offset of 0, 0.1, 0.2, . . . 0.9. At least for me, I see no change until 0.5, where the black text jumps a whole pixel (see attached image). Am I missin
