#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@…): I've attached a couple of samples : Oxygen-Sans 11pt, Novarese Bk Bt 11pt and Segoe UI 11pt, all in their regular/normal weight and in bold (semi- bold for Segoe UI). I actually prefer the rendering under X11 with these patches even though at this size things look just a tad fuzzy. Rendering size is not really identical though (despite setting Xft.dpi to 72 instead of the default 96 dpi), which may explain my preference. NB: I observe the same difference in rendering size without the Infinality patches, so they're not to blame for that. Tweaking the fontconfig+infinality settings has effect on rendering in gedit but not in KDE nor in Qt4-Mac, so it seems they either don't use freetype at all for font rendering, or ignore the fontfonfig settings just as stock cairo does. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/44148#comment:5> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
