Summary: [freetype] uneven rendering quality when bytecode is enabled https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=679030 Summary: [freetype] uneven rendering quality when bytecode is enabled Product: Fedora Version: 15 Platform: Unspecified OS/Version: Unspecified Status: NEW Severity: unspecified Priority: unspecified Component: freetype AssignedTo: mka...@redhat.com ReportedBy: jfrie...@hotmail.com QAContact: extras...@fedoraproject.org CC: beh...@fedoraproject.org, ke...@tigcc.ticalc.org, fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, mka...@redhat.com Classification: Fedora Description of problem: After updating to the latest FreeType build for which the bytecode interpreter has been enabled, fonts are rendered with uneven quality. The system font used e.g. for button labels is very thin now and certain popular web fonts (e.g. Verdana) are rendered surprisingly poorly. Look at the four attached screenshots which demonstrate the various combinations for which the bytecode interpreter is enabled (disabled) and webcore fonts are installed (removed). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): freetype-2.4.4-3.fc15 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Launch firefox. 2. Open http://www.bbc.co.uk . Actual results: Partially poor rendering depending on whether the bytecode interpreter is enabled or not. Expected results: Acceptable rendering quality throughout all font families. Additional info: Reverting to freetype-2.4.4-2.fc15 restores globally good font rendering. -- 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. _______________________________________________ fonts-bugs mailing list fonts-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/fonts-bugs http://fonts.fedoraproject.org/
