#44148: using Bohoomil's Infinality-Ultimate patches ----------------------------------------+-------------------------- Reporter: rjvbertin@… | Owner: ryandesign@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: haspatch Port: freetype fontconfig cairo | ----------------------------------------+-------------------------- Comment (by rjvbertin@…): Honestly, I'd like to see some feedback on the perceived interest of it all before I start to spend more time making lots of diffs. I've explained why I included the infinality patches: I couldn't figure out in a reasonable time how to grab them from the server (i.e. from 2 different branches of a github archive) when the variant is selected AND they'd have to be edited (unless there's a way to have them applied with -p1). Tabs were added by vim; apparently the modeline isn't explicit enough to avoid it from doing so (and I haven't touched these vi settings for too long to see what's missing or even remember how to set vim to using spaces :-/ ). Aesthetic, minor issue that will be corrected if ever these make it to a proposal-to-add. cairo-devel: what's that? The port info is identical as is the version. The actual font rendering improvements are in freetype+infinality. Fontconfig+infinality hooks into that to provide global and per-font rendering configuration options whereas the cairo patch just makes cairo respect those settings. Using either of the last 2 without freetype+infinality probably doesn't make any sense, but I don't think there are hard dependencies. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44148#comment:4> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
