Hi there, I have a problem related to fonts. As you might know, I'm hacking on the OpenJDK challenge thing and try to implement an external toolkit/J2D pipeline based on external and internal interfaces etc. Progress is pretty good so far, as can be seen here:
http://kennke.org/blog/2008/04/16/caciocavallo-prototype/ However, there seems to be a problem related to fonts. To me, it looks like they are not hinted properly. My TextRenderer implementation is very simple and straightforward: http://kennke.org/~hg/hgwebdir.cgi/caciocavallo-ng/file/943a30f0ce78/src/gnu/java/awt/peer/x/EscherTextRenderer.java But I guess it is not really the problem, because the pixels are already arriving badly there. Is there another point that controls this behaviour? Something in FontConfiguration or FontManager maybe? (BTW: I re-engineered the FontManager stuff - and other - quite a bit, but if you point me to a place in the current OpenJDK version, I could map it to mine). For completeness, the code to the toolkit is here: http://kennke.org/~hg/hgwebdir.cgi/caciocavallo-ng/ You'd also need Escher: http://escher.sourceforge.net/hg/escher-trunk/ and our patches to the OpenJDK tree: http://kennke.org/~hg/hgwebdir.cgi/openjdk-patches/ Cheers, Roman -- Dipl.-Inform.
