Hi, Sorry for your inconvenience. Due to the manpower squeeze of MacOS experts in FreeType developer, I want to decompose the issue into platform-dependent and -independent problems. And I have to apologize for I don't know WebKit at all.

Excuse me, I'm confused a bit, please let me get myself together. I understand as following: * the reference implementation is WebKit on MacOS X Quartz (only). * the tested implementation is WebKit on Linux X11. * the rendering result onto screen by WebKit-on-Linux-X11 is bigger than that by WebKit-on-OSX-Quartz. If the issue is more generic (e.g. how about on WebKit-on-Win32, if there's such?), please let me know. >We tried to hack FreeType to make the two rendering fit. We changed in >ftobjs.c the values of 72 dpi and the 64 coefficient in I have 2 questions: * this is not WebKit specific? for example, comarison between "text shown by TextEdit.app at specified pointsize" and "text shown by FreeType2 application on X11/Quartz at same pointsize" is enough for testing? * when the output device is not screen, e.g. printing, the scaling coefficient 64 is better than 72? >Has anyone already tried to make such a port, or is there any >planned effort on making such a compatibility possible ? I suppose there's nobody working for, at present.
