It's not true that there is no distortion at all: with the byte code the lengths of strings may also change a little bit when the hinting is switched on or off. But this effect is usually a lot smaller than with the autohinter. I've not yet seen distortions as bad as those in bug #215602 with the byte code interpreter. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
