But even so, if I recall correctly, wasn't it mentioned that due to the patents, work on the bytecode interpreter actually stopped a while back? I figured that's why even if you enable the freetype bytecode interpreter today, it still displays glitches in some Windows fonts. (ex, Tahoma). Even if the relevant patents expire, the current Freetype implementation may not be up to snuff. (As to whether that is an important point for users who just "like the Windows way better", probably not). I haven't tried F10's freetype-freeworld, but just to be certain I will give it a shot. I was always under the impression that freeworld enabled both the BCI and the patented subpixel filtering. (Maybe I don't remember F9 clearly enough; maybe it really didn't ship with subpixel capability of any kind). PS. My confusion may result from a misconception: I always thought that the patented filtering was part of Freetype, and Fedora merely disabled it downstream; now I see that perhaps Fedora always mirrored Freetype-upstream as close as possible, and that these patches for advanced subpixel filtering were actually always kept separate from the main Freetype tree (but merged in by other downstreams, like Ubuntu). -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
