Hi,
someone was working on that, maybe the article on /. is therefore of
some interests?
http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=00/12/05/1425209&mode=thread
keithp sent in a bit more information about the Font stuff we
mentioned yesterday. Besides a nice shot of twm & xterm, Keith sent
us proof in the form of a screenshot with Konqueror, the KDE web
browser. He also says "Most of this code is in XFree86 CVS today. The
hacked Tk and Qt libraries will be available in source form soon.
Expect the latter to change; they were pretty seriously whacked. All
of the text is rendered with the fine FreeType 2 library using 256
levels of translucency and composited to the screen using hardware
acceleration at around 200000 glyphs/sec. If performance becomes an
issue, I'm sure we can improve that. These images are regular
anti-aliased images not optimized for any particular sub-pixel
geometry. With a single X resource change, the text would be
rasterized to improve quality for LCD screens as seen here." Now I'm
just waiting for mozilla to support this.
cheers, Phil
