You can try the freetype-freeworld packages from RPM Fusion, but these packages do not carry Ubuntu's antialiasing patches which are not upstream, they only enable the bytecode interpreter and subpixel antialiasing from upstream freetype (which cannot be done in Fedora due to software patents). The only complaint which sounds valid is this one: > In Firefox, fonts are too big proportionally no matter how font settings are > changed in Edit|Preferences. They look about 1 size bigger or smaller than > they > should be. I've also noticed GTK+ apps displaying larger fonts at the same point size and dpi than Qt apps. 94 dpi in pango is about the same size as 96 dpi in Qt. But this is a completely separate issue, it has nothing to do with the patent-encumbered patches you're referencing. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug. _______________________________________________ Fedora-fonts-bugs-list mailing list Fedora-fonts-bugs-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-fonts-bugs-list
