[ft] Tweaking/Improving FreeType Antialiasing

2006-08-27 Thread [EMAIL PROTECTED]
I've never been terribly happy with the antialiasing under various Linux distributions. I'm not sure if this is a personal preference issue or what, but suffice to say, it has been my largest complaint about using Linux on the desktop - the fonts look like utter crap to me. I can adapt to

Roman, Thank you so much - it seems to be maddening trying to explain the issues to most Linux users. Quite literally, they do not care or see any significant difference. I beg to differ! Take a look at a little heads up comparison: http://zinkconsulting.com/aa-comparison.png I personally

Not 100% sure this is the same problem, but here is a CJK font fragment from a PDF file that exhibits nasty behavior unless #define TT_CONFIG_OPTION_BYTECODE_INTERPRETER (and hinting not disabled). Yep. Werner ___ Freetype-devel

Re: [ft-devel] FT_BASE_DEF et al.

2006-08-27 Thread Werner LEMBERG
