I'm duplicating the glyph image data. It's similar in concept to how hardware drivers duplicate the image data in textures. It could perhaps be interesting to share the data between X and pixman, but there are some advantages to the duplicating too: - pixman can assume that no one is changing the properties of the glyph images so various information can be cached related to them. - the images could eventually be stored in a more efficient ways. Say by putting them all into one big, narrow and tall image or by enforcing a stride that is a multiple of 8. If we were to try and share the data, it should probably be done by moving the whole concept of GlyphSets into pixman. That was actually the first thing I looked at, but as I recall it turned out to require major surgery to large parts of the server.
