Re: [Texmacs-dev] Qt Fonts

[Alvaro Tejero Cantero]

Thank you Aleksandr for providing this extended font support. I am
currently happily using your freefont package for my PhD thesis (with
Times). Does the new git fork improve on the typesetting with respect
to the package, or is it just on-screen rendering? (I have to be
conservative at this moment).

And, as a curiosity - does QT font rendering make TeXmacs faster?


-á.
