I've tested with Mozilla |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
unmask freetype |
| 4 |
emerge freetype |
| 5 |
emerge -c freetype |
| 6 |
emerge pango |
| 7 |
emerge gtk+ |
| 8 |
restart mozilla |
| 9 |
Seems to work OK, but fonts look worse than before. Is this to do |
| 10 |
with hinting? |
| 11 |
edited ebuild, adding src_unpack() section from 2.0.9 ebuild |
| 12 |
emerge freetype |
| 13 |
restart mozilla |
| 14 |
Also fiddled with my subpixel decimation settings, looks better now. |
| 15 |
start gimp (1.3) |
| 16 |
Seems to work OK. Can use the type tool without problems. |
| 17 |
start gnumeric (1.1.5) |
| 18 |
Seems to work OK. This only really tests the widgets though, since |
| 19 |
the gnumeric canvas dosn't use antialiasing. |
| 20 |
start mrproject |
| 21 |
Crashes. Find out that I'm running an older version, so... |
| 22 |
emerge -c dev-libs/libmrproject |
| 23 |
emerge -c app-office/mrproject |
| 24 |
Seems to work OK. |
| 25 |
Log out and log back in again. |
| 26 |
Seems OK. This should test the panel and WM (metacity). They both |
| 27 |
seem OK, although I'm not sure which FT they are using since the |
| 28 |
xfree build includes it's own version. |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Actually, the font rendering with FT212 looks better to my eyes that |
| 31 |
that of FT209. And the apps I've tried seem to work without trouble. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
I think that's all the major apps I have that use FT. |
| 34 |

| 35 |
Yours, |
