Re: [ft] ugly output with freetype and gtk

Hi, Hmm, if ftview could not reproduce the noise pixel, the next library to be checked would be Pango (text rendering engine of GTK+) or Cairo (the vector graphic engine used by Pango, under some configuration). However, yet I don't know which display subsystem is used in your embedded systems (

Re: [ft] ugly output with freetype and gtk

Hi, thank your for your fast answer. With ftview everthing looks fine so it seems to be a gtk problem. The noise pixels are exactly reproduceable. After reboot and also after reinstalling the whole system the noise pixels are at the same position. only by changing fontconfig parameters like hinti
