Hi Anthony,

Hi again,

Sorry, I spoke too soon.  I receive more screenshots from a Debian users
after my upload of the latest 2003-03-15 CVS.  To my untrained eyes, it
seems that letters like "i", "l" got shifted (so that the letters look stuck
together), and "A" looks horizontally compressed.  (If I am not mistaken,
Filipe's screenshots are rendered with Xft using the Tahoma font.) I wonder
if it is yet more rounding errors?

Could you confirm me that this bug is still present in the current
implementation (i.e. this morning's CVS ?)

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

This upgrade does not solve my problem with true type fonts, but I discovered some things that might help you.

Here you can see some screenshots of qtconfig (part of qt3):
This is how the fonts should look <http://www.nux.ipb.pt/~phil/qtconfig_good.png>, anti-aliasing is disabled.
This is how the fonts looks when enabling AA to some fonts sizes
<http://www.nux.ipb.pt/~phil/qtconfig_bad.png>
When I enable AA to all font:
<http://www.nux.ipb.pt/~phil/qtconfig.png>

Now, if freetype can render fonts properly with AA disable (screenshot 1) them it should render properly when AA is disable for some sizes and enable to other sizes (screenshot 2).

This is my .fonts.conf
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE fontconfig SYSTEM "fonts.dtd">
<fontconfig>
 <match target="font" >
  <edit mode="assign" name="rgba" >
   <const>rgb</const>
  </edit>
 </match>
</fontconfig>
