As you wrote results are subjective and I can't stand myself windows-like font butchering (subpixel hinting, gross glyph distortion). IMHO some people are fighting a losing battle in trying to perpetuate bitmap font rendering. Every new font is going the Liberation 2 way so I'm not sure at all investing in old-style hinting is useful at all. I've seen the very same horror cries when Luxy was dumped, and history showed they were a very small minority. It may be best to keep a Liberation1 package somewhere and have old-style hinting fans maintain it. But I doubt they'll be able to keep up with Unicode changes. And anyway with hi-dpi screens hitting Apple customers nows, and Android tablet producers following suit, Liberation1-style hinting is going to be irrelevant in a few years. Resources would be better expanded in getting our GUI stack to work with hi-dpi before such hardware becomes common IMHO. -- Nicolas Mailhot _______________________________________________ fonts mailing list fonts@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fonts http://fonts.fedoraproject.org/
