Well, I guess I missed your point. What does this special use-case have to do with antialiasing in general? If the glyph would be not antialiased, you would have exactly the same problem ;) In your case you can simply "save" a copy in an additional pixmap before you add any glyphs - and copy the stuff you need back from that pixmap. However I guess it isn't that easy ;) - Clemens _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
