Re: [opensuse-packaging] Can we merge infinality patch set from fedora into freetype2 in M17N and Factory?
As you said, it only satisfies you, using western fonts only. it never satisfies me actually, that's why I do the packaging work. I completely understand your feeling, it's just the same as mine everytime I run dst upgrade. I'm "afraid" to lose my adjustments. another question raises why someone can enjoy and others must have to suffer? so please help me try it in home:opensuse_zh before "doubt", to see if it fulfills your needs. I did NOT push it to either M17N or Factory yet. Actually I don't know if it's a new rendering engine. I'm not a coder and I can understand only a little of its source code. that's why I post here, I need someone to assess it. and that's why I leave it in a home repository for testing for so long to see the feedback. It seems that patch set just enables sub-pixel rendering like old one does, and makes adjustments to some specific fonts( most of them are CJK, old-times, propietary and everyone-knows-it-renders-bad ones.) So if your font is not among them, it renders maybe just as what it looked like. If I place it into a separate optional package, it won't help fresh users. like Ubuntu looks good among all locales for fresh users. while some foreign users of us SuSE have to install a package to look good. it sounds really really bad.

Currently the rendering fully satisfies me when subpixel smoothing is enabled and hinting set to full. I am afraid that those excellent fonts appearance I have currently may be damaged by the changes. I doubt it is possible to make it better with existing fonts and this screen resolution.
So please if you add a new rendering engine, place it into a separate optional package just as Fedora does. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
