So just to be clear, a patch to Xft that was applied to the modular Xorg tree didn't make it through the modular transition. bug 164374 fixes gtk apps because gtk apps use cairo now instead of Xft for text rendering, but the old patch needs to be added back to xft (now in the libXft package) for things to look good in KDE and mozilla. Does anyone know why this patch is not part of the upstream libXft proper? It looks as though there is a patch relevant to this in the upstream tracker https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1579 but there hasn't been any activity on that bug in a fair while. Only a small part of that patch is relevant to embedded bitmaps so I've created a new patch and I'm in the process testing it. As far as upstream goes, as soon as I can verify that the patch is ok I'll submit the same patch against cvs head in the upstream tracker and see what the response is.

Please submit the patch to upstream X.Org bugzilla for review. Once it has been reviewed and accepted upstream, and committed into CVS, we'll reconsider adding it to a future FC libXft build. Thanks in advance. Once upstream maintainers have released Xft with this support built in, we will include it in a future OS release, and may consider it as a Fedora update also. Please See : https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5808 Doesn't libxft have maintainer? Tracking this upstream. |
