There is still the slight problem of all the bitmap artwork, though it could certainly be scaled by discrete levels (and apps just have to expect it, just like they had to learn i18n means variable-length text strings) Also given the poor resolution of current screens you certainly want the highest possible resolution regardless of the user-selected scale, if only to have sharp fonts and avoid the mess freetype autohinting is[1]. Just moving from 100 to 125 dpi improves the font rendering tremendously (and I'm not even talking about OLPC-like resolutions) [1] That's not to say the freetype hackers are bad, but if autohinting was easy no one would have specified manual hinting in the first place Regards, -- Nicolas Mailhot -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
