I suppose we still have time to add the suggested LOAD flag before the 2.7 release? IMO it should: 1) Switch on stem darkening 2) Change the default LCD filter weights as recommended on http://www.freetype.org/freetype2/docs/reference/ft2-lcd_filtering.html Is this what it should do? As for the name... - FT_LOAD_LINEAR (probably too vague) - FT_LOAD_INTEND_LINEAR_ALPHA_BLENDING_AND_GAMMA_CORRECTION (probably too long) - FT_LOAD_LINEAR_LIGHT - FT_LOAD_LINEAR_LIGHT_BLENDING - FT_LOAD_FOR_LINEAR_LIGHT More bikeshedding about a good name? It should be short and unambiguous. On another note, what happens if FT_LCD_FILTER_LEGACY is requested but not compiled in? Does it fall back to NONE or DEFAULT? Disturbingly, I still get the legacy filter (which sucks) unless I'm explicitly requesting another in fontconfig. I can probably blame Cairo. _______________________________________________ Freetype-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
