Do you know if there is any advantage to AA in QT 2.3 (perhaps what ever reason it was "experimental" is no longer an issue?). I was just curious if it was worth the update if I already have qt-experimental from my installation.
Sorry, no clue. qt-experimental works fine for me, so I have not bothered to update.
Didn't work here. I'm running XFree 4.0.2 on SuSE 7.1 and I tried qt-experimental after I got no difference from running qt-2.3.0 (just in case installing it ran some extra X setup or something, of course it doesn't), and with qt-experimental there's still no sign of anti-aliased fonts - using the scaled fonts of course. But the XFree 4.0.2 I have installed (remember, from SuSE 7.1) doesn't have the RENDER extension. Here's the output from xdpyinfo (attached). How does this get enabled? Does it only work in certain colour depths for instance? -- Rachel name of display: :0.0 version number: 11.0 vendor string: The XFree86 Project, Inc vendor release number: 4002 maximum request size: 4194300 bytes motion buffer size: 256 bitmap unit, bit order, padding: 32, LSBFirst, 32 image byte order: LSBFirst number of supported pixmap formats: 7 supported pixmap formats: depth 1, bits_per_pixel 1, scanline_pad 32 depth 4, bits_per_pixel 8, scanline_pad 32 depth 8, bits_per_pixel 8, scanline_pad 32 depth 15, bits_per_pixel 16, scanline_pad 32 depth 16, bits_per_pixel 16, scanline_pad 32 depth 24, bits_per_pixel 32, scanline_pad 32 depth 32, bits_per_pixel 32, scanline_pad 32 keycode range: minimum 8, maximum 255 focus: window 0x2800010, revert to PointerRoot number of extensions: 22 BIG-REQUESTS DOUBLE-BUFFER DPMS Extended-Visual-Information FontCache LBX MIT-SCREEN-SAVER MIT-SHM MIT-SUNDRY-NONSTANDARD SECURITY SHAPE SYNC TOG-CUP XC-APPGROUP XC-MISC XFree86-DGA XFree86-Misc XFree86-VidModeExtension XInputExtension XKEYBOARD XTEST XVideo default screen number: 0 number of screens: 1 screen #0: dimensions: 1280x1024 pixels (322x241 millimeters) resolution: 101x108 dots per inch depths (1): 24 root window id: 0x26 depth of root window: 24 planes number of colormaps: minimum 1, maximum 1 default colormap: 0x21 default number of colormap cells: 256 preallocated pixels: black 0, white 16777215 options: backing-store NO, save-unders NO largest cursor: 1280x1024 current input event mask: 0xf84033 KeyPressMask KeyReleaseMask EnterWindowMask LeaveWindowMask KeymapStateMask SubstructureNotifyMask SubstructureRedirectMask FocusChangeMask PropertyChangeMask ColormapChangeMask number of visuals: 2 default visual id: 0x22 visual: visual id: 0x22 class: TrueColor depth: 24 planes available colormap entries: 256 per subfield red, green, blue masks: 0xff0000, 0xff00, 0xff significant bits in color specification: 8 bits visual: visual id: 0x23 class: DirectColor depth: 24 planes available colormap entries: 256 per subfield red, green, blue masks: 0xff0000, 0xff00, 0xff significant bits in color specification: 8 bits
