Okay, I agree with this. So would you rather have a new function operating on FT_Library that controls linear light mode? I think the smooth rasterizer already produces coverage maps in linear space? How does gamma-correct rendering (not blending) work right now? _______________________________________________ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
