[Lunar-commits] r24290 - moonbase/trunk/graphics/cairo

[Moritz Heiber]

The changes are visible to anyone with clear eyesight. My TFT's fonts
are almost Apple'ish now (which, from my point of view, has the best
font rendering to date) when they were merely up to Windows-like
anti-aliasing before.

If you don't see them (remember: cairo is only used by gtk+-2
applications; firefox is an exception since it uses its own rendering
engine and not pango/cairo) then it might be related to your personal
setup. I wish I could show you some before/after footage ..
unfortunately, I forgot to take screenshots for that. The newer font
rendering is truely exceptional and way better than the old one.

Regards,

Moritz
