Description Mikko Tiihonen 2013-05-05 15:44:35 UTC
Created attachment 743782 [details]
freetype 2.4.12-beta spec

I created a freetype 2.4.12 beta rpm with the adobe ccf font renderer as default.
Please consider taking this into use when the final 2.4.12 is released.

Hi,

I've updated freetype to 2.4.12 in rawhide and enabled the Adobe CFF engine there.

Marek, is there a chance that this will get into Fedora 19?

I strongly advise against changing any option that modifies font rendering output after the first betas have been posted. People are conservative enough about text rendering any option combination really needs the whole test cycle to be accepted

Hi Jan,

Nicolas is right in this. Any change of such kind has to be enabled since early rawhide and properly tested. Even Werner states that "The code has a (mature) beta status; we encourage all users to test it and report any problems.".
So the answer is no.

Regards

Marek

No problem. I just wanted to know it. Thanks.
