Ah... I figured it out... It has to do with --enable-builtin-fonts going from "no" by default in 1.5 to "yes" by default in 1.6 to being removed in master.
If this is being punted in master, and has been off in previous releases, should we turn it back off in 1.6 by reverting 385943e0e97463ce4681a9b6a4a40d7e3c91e51e ? http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=385943e0e97463ce4681a9b6a4a40d7e3c91e51e On Jan 16, 2009, at 14:37, Jeremy Huddleston wrote: > > On Jan 16, 2009, at 14:27, Xavier Bestel wrote: > >> Le vendredi 16 janvier 2009 à 14:22 -0800, Jeremy Huddleston a >> écrit : >>> Has anyone noticed oddities in font rendering (or perhaps even just >>> font selection) in the 1.6 branch?
