--- Comment #50 from Petr Gajdos
One problem I've found is that by some fonts substitution rules in fontfonfig, some Korean web pages are still rendered in unfonts, and in this case, the ugly unfonts appear again like:

I think that the solution is to disable autohint for all Korean TTF fonts, because since freetype 2.4.X bytecode hinting has been implemented and autohint is not necessary for Korean TTF fonts. I can over-write autohinting in my personal ~/.fonts.conf file, but it will be better if the default fontconfig disables it for Korean TTF fonts by default.
Unfortunately I do not have time for this now. If you want to have this change in 11.4, please create, propose and test patch against fontconfig in milestone 4 or M17N/fontconfig. (In reply to comment #49)
By the way, if you can contact the maintainer of OpenSUSE freetype package, please let him/her to compile it with TTF bytecode interpreter and the LCD filtering feature.
I believe that the fonts rendering of OpenSUSE can be improved. It is still not as good as Ubuntu(in default state) or Fedora(after freetype-freeworld package added), and I suspect that the OpenSUSE freetype package does not turn on all the bells and whistles. If I remember correctly, the patent has expired and it's free to use bytecode interpreter.
Different enhancement, please file a new bug for this. -- 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.
