about that font rendering....
by and large on Thursday 24/Jul/2003, @07:08

How does this new font rendering engine fit in with freetype2, Xft, etc for X ?

Are these things complementary? mutually exclusive?

Can someone gimme a clue, please?

I think it still uses freetype, Xft ... as usual... the only thing you could probably notice is that fonts are actually BIGGER while webbrowsing. Well, at least they are much bigger in the qt-copy verson I have right now.

Qt now recognises that fontconfig/Xft2 can artificially italicise fonts, so italics can now be selected for any font from font selection dialogues. :)

... At least I _think_ that's a new Qt feature. Not sure how long it's been there.
