I am trying to enable subpixel rendering on poppler and I found my rendering result is suboptimal. After gdbing into cairo, I am surprise that cairo is still using the legacy filter as the "default". To the the situation even worse, cairo removed the interfaces to set the lcdfiler (cairo_font_options_set_lcd_filter) because "they are too specific to FreeType".
Well, maybe that is true. But now how can I use the real Freetype default filter (FIR5) in the newest cairo without pathcing it? I think maybe manually set a FcPattern is OK but I really do not want to learn/invoke/rely Fontconfig just for setting a filter that should be default. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to fontconfig in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/164640 Title: Build Firefox 3 against a subpixel-patched cairo Status in Fontconfig: Fix Released Status in libcairo: Confirmed Status in fontconfig package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in libcairo package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in xulrunner-1.9 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: firefox-3.0 In Ubuntu 7.10 and newer, Firefox 3.0 looks out of place with subpixel rendering enabled, due to the fact that it uses an unpatched, bundled version of Cairo.
