Re: Slow Rendering?

A quick grep of the source code (gdk/x11/gdkpango-x11.c) shows that the environment variable you really want is GDK_USE_XFT, not GDK_ENABLE_XFT. I don't know whether that will make any difference to what you're seeing, but it can't hurt to try.

Hi,

Unless you set GDK_ENABLE_XFT to 0 explicitely, you are using the
PangoXft backend then. Font configuration is done using fontconfig.
Please check the fontconfig user documentation at

http://pdx.freedesktop.org/~fontconfig/fontconfig-user.html

Sorry, I confused your answer with another thread where a user was asking for information about font configuration.



Oh good, I was beginning to wonder if I'd suddenly lost my
mind...


The answer to your question about speed issues on remote displays is
that you could try to use X11 core fonts by setting the environment
variable GDK_ENABLE_XFT to 0. This would disable antialiased fonts
which are likely causing your speed issues. Does your X-Server
implement the RENDER extension?



Hrmm. Setting the variable didn't seem to make much of a difference. The application now takes ~12s, but popups sped up to ~3s

RENDER isn't implemented as far as I know since I get to see
the "extension RENDER missing" error every time I run my program :D


Any other ideas? Thanks again!
