https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=781631 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=781631#c9 --- Comment #9 from Petr Gajdos <pgajdos@suse.com> 2012-09-24 11:02:43 UTC --- It depends not only on matter of taste, but also on monitor, fontsize, etc. Looking on your screenshots, I agree that e. g. some parts of 'n' or 'u' are blurred with hintslight ("bad" for you). Nevertheless, oblique parts of 'k' is rendered too thin for hintfull and may lead to no black pixel for smaller sizes. Also, "US-Wahlkampf" heading is looking much better with hitslight. Nevertheless, because 3 (Jan Matejek, Jan Engelhardt, Wolfgang) > 1 (Gordon), I have reverted the change for Verdana (see bug 737215) in M17N/fontconfig. Note that this holds fontconfig 2.10.0. Is maintenance update needed? (In reply to comment #6)
I have also tried the following two configurations:
#ok hintstyle: 3(i)(w) hinting: FcTrue(s) autohint: FcFalse(w)
#bad hintstyle: 3(i)(w) hinting: FcTrue(s) autohint: FcTrue(w)
and came to the conclusion that "hintstyle" is completely ignored when autohint=true.
Why? autohint and BCI are completely different algorithms. hintstyle is degree of thoroughness of the algorithm as far as I know. To my understanding, it can or it can not have visible impact on rendered font. It depends, again of many inputs (font, monitor, etc.) -- 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.
