Hi!
Zooming via the ezoom plugin produces a blurry result.

Dear Mr. Borowski, thanks you so much for your tests and reports about Compiz :) !

Such zoom has two uses:
* accessibility: I sadly already got minor eyesight problems, and sometimes
  need to read small text.  Having it blurry obviously defeats that purpose.

I'm a visual-impaired man with 1/10 vision and I use Compiz/EZoom without issue. On Mate, you can configure font anti-aliasing : http://feeblemind.tuxfamily.org/blog/index.php?post/2013/02/02/Linux-Mint%2C-MATE-and-fonts

* detail work: when you're making an icon/etc, non-photographic images,
  borders, font hinting/antialiasing, you want to see individual pixels; a
  blurry zoom is outright useless here.

Both compiz 0.8 and XFCE's compositor have sharp clear zoom.

I'm not sure it is possible but I really would like more details.
Could you tell me what version of Compiz 0.8 are you using ? From which source repository ? Is there any Debian/Ubuntu packaged for the 0.8 branch ? What release of XFCE are you deal with ? Do you have configured something for font rendering on your desktop ?

Both EZoom 0.8 and 0.9 have the same zoom algorithm as I know. The only difference is the programming language, C for 0.8 and C++ for 0.9.

Best regards.
