It already is, in Rawhide. Upgrade an F13 machine to Rawhide and you'll see noticeably different font rendering. (Though it's really not as simple as that story makes it seem, which is why we didn't do it for F13. Bytecode interpreting only helps fonts which are actually designed with bytecode interpreting in mind. Some of the fonts we use have been designed more with the use of autohinting in mind, and look worse if you just use bytecode interpreting everywhere. I believe the idea for F14 is to try and determine which fonts should use which method in some way.) -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Fedora Talk: adamwill AT fedoraproject DOT org http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
