I've added a comment to that effect. The users’ preferences, as specificed in fontconfig, always must override anything in the font. Whether gasp tables are “correct” is a matter of opinion. Blindly accepting the gasp recomentations can result in bitmap glyphs uglifying an otherwise anti-aliased display. The ability to query the fonts’ gasp tables is a good thing, but only for users who want to do that. Many of us do not. The gasp query probably should be done in fontconfig, arranged so that a fonts.conf snippet can query and apply the gasp recommendations. That would ensure that users can choose whether to apply or ignore them. -JimC -- James Cloos <[email protected]> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6 -- cairo mailing list [email protected] http://lists.cairographics.org/mailman/listinfo/cairo
