Hi,

We think this is an acceptable trade-off, but others might disagree. Note that Harfbuzz does support loading bitmap-only OpenType fonts."Ouch - I was wondering where all the funny unicode encodings in firefox came from... Guess we should back out that update (or create alternatives). indeed. After I wrote this mail, IO started noticing that I have those funny characters here and there alsdo in the browser, Seamonkey, Firefox.... just not everywhere. I don't think it is an "acceptable trade-off", but maybe it can be mitigated. I do use bitmap fonts, because I like them best on the screen, I guess Windowmaker here is using Helvetica? Perhaps, however, an OpenType version of the fonts could be shipped/used/included ? just thinking. Where is pango used: By windowmaker directly? or is it a dependency of a dependency? Riccardo |
