This seems to be a very sensible objection; I believe that inkscape can produce svg fonts, which can then be imported in fontforge and tweaked with hinting infos there. This is indeed a considerable overhead; perhaps then one could implement shape-rendering:crispEdges rendering in QtSvg; actually if the svg routines are shared with webkit, it could be that they are already implemented… > > having hinting there would be very cool (the shape deformation to fit the > grid, not the horrible color bleeding antialiasing abomination) Allright, subpixel hinting is definitely not your favourite feature; I got your point :D Best, __J _______________________________________________ Plasma-devel mailing list Plasma-devel@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/plasma-devel
