[Touch-packages] [Bug 164640]
It was nice to get update on the patch for LCD filtering from SuSE builds shared by David Turner, one of the freetype2 upstream developers that means a lot for users to refer his concern about regarding the LCD filtering and the Cairo patch are all on a public.

The patch should be ported to Cairo 1.5 and applied in the firefox-3.0 package.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 145604]
It was nice to get update on the patch for LCD filtering from SuSE builds shared by David Turner, one of the freetype2 upstream developers that means a lot for users to refer his concern about regarding the LCD filtering and the Cairo patch are all on a public. Caroline, http://www.personalstatementfolks.co.uk/ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to cairo in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/145604 Title: VRGB sub-pixel hinting causes black-on-black text rendering Status in libcairo: Unknown Status in cairo package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in compiz package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in compiz-fusion-plugins-main package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Binary package hint: libcairo2 There is a long-standing problem (Gutsy, Hardy, Intrepid - possibly Jaunty too) with sub-pixel rendering which affects metacity or compiz composition (see the images attached to this bug) when VRGB is chosen as the sub-pixel format. Comment #15 by MoMaT demonstrates a non- compiz scenario. My comments #2 and #10 demonstrate the issue with Compiz enabled. The underlying issue essentially seems to be: where should sub-pixel rendering should be done - in libcairo or in the font renderer (FreeType in this case) ? There have been two versions of the Ubuntu patch in libcairo/libcairo2. Reports seem to suggest that both versions may be responsible for the VRGB problem (however, that supposition needs checking - see Bob McElrath's comment #19). We need to be aware that libcairo (libcairo 1.5.4 in Universe) and libcairo2 (cairo 1.6.0 in Main) are similarly patched and will need similar fixes.
