This is on a Sid machine with X4.2.1.1 I've been wondering why Xpdf's display looks so bad compared to mozilla's display of web pages.
I notice that Xpdf is linked against libXft.so.1, but Mozilla 1.4 is linked with libXft.so.2. Xpdf's display looks a lot like the example at: http://www.freetype.org/patents.html Acrobat (acroread) isn't linked to libXft, but still has better looking fonts than Xpdf, but still not as good as Mozilla. So, my questions are: - If Xpdf was instead using libXft.so.2 would I see an improvement in font rendering? - Is the issue described at http://www.freetype.org/patents.html a factor? That is, would enabling the "TrueType bytecode interpreter" in FreeType2 improve fonts for my libXft.so.2 linked programs much? - Or, is one of the problems the fonts selected in the PDF file just are not that great? -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
