When building Fedora's freetype packages, it must be easy to independently enable Freetype's non-filtered subpixel antialiasing, without enabling the different LCD-optimized filters that Freetype can use. I say this because even though you can turn on subpixel rendering in F10, you cannot actually use any of the different LCD-optimized subpixel filters available in the different patches. I assumed subpixel antialiasing was enabled, but all of the filters were not. I may have mistakenly assumed that patent infringement applied to the different filtering methods, as opposed to "text that just has blue and red streaks in it." (the mere idea of your font having nonhomogenous RGB channels). That seems even more bizarre than just patenting all ways of filtering the output; patenting the entire subpixel workflow itself. Yes, I am aware subpixel filtering is different from hinting. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
