Listmates, I thought I was simply getting older and my eyes were going bad, but after further investigation it looks like the subpixel hinting that can be enabled in freetype2-2.3.7 isn't nearly as good as it was in freetype2-2.3.5. For some applications it looks OK, but for others (Yast, konsole with Linux colors, and more) the fonts look quite a bit more "grainy" than they did with subpixel hinting in 2.3.5. I have tried both the 1-click install as well as the zypper install -- no change. In each case subpixel hinting is enabled with RBG and FULL hinting. What is very noticeable is when hinting is set to MEDIUM (which was my default for freetype2-2.3.5). Set to medium, fonts in Yast look down right ugly as if no hinting has been applied. Question, does anyone else see this? Also, with 2.3.7, is it still possible to rebuild from the src.rpm and enable hinting with: rpmbuild --rebuild --target=$(uname -m) --with subpixel freetype2-*.src.rpm It seems when this is attempted with 2.3.7, no hinting results. What say the gurus? -- David C. Rankin, J.D., P.E.
