it's purely documented.
"Pure Documentation! No Code!" :) The utility, while not a beauty, is sufficiently documented (through F1 while running). It's a great fit. The only error I spot is that it says "at N points" while it should be saying "at N pixels" Hinting is supposed to make the letters get higher contrast by aligning strokes that are on a pixel boundary and which would be smothered across two pixels by AA, with the actual pixel row/column so that there are less gray parts. Forced autohinting (F key in ftview) on Verdana just blows that away; the embedded hints are much preferable, and they will also give a clear picture on small font sizes, while the autohint thing seems to simply scale it down, which you will notice when using ftview with antialias=off, autohint=true, and the 'x' glyph. -- 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.
