Hi all.
Congrats on the recent progress of Xft/Fontconfig. I have quite a nice
looking desktop now thanks to you all.
I'm having an interesting problem with one particular font, MS UI
Gothic
I have my .fonts.conf written so that for sizes 8 and 16 it uses
embedded bitmaps. This works all fine
KP The glyph spacing is set as a part of each embedded glyph image;
Calls for a fontconfig option to use the scalable spacing for embedded
bitmaps? DPS used to have that.
(Actually, if memory serves, it was a three-state switch: use bitmap
metrics, use scalable metrics, and use bitmap metrics
The pfa-edit version has the right cutoff of the bitmap two pixels
farther in than the ttedit version.
doh. Apparently the bunched together characters have made me lose my
ability to count. That should be one pixel farther in, not two.
