Re: [ft] Subpixel Hinting Patch

[Moony]

Here is an updated patch that does a better job of setting the stage for 
a split between grayscale and subpixel.  I'm still forcing subpixel in 
ttinterp.c because there AFAIK there is no way to set this with 
fontconfig currently.

http://www.infinality.net/files/subpixel-hinting-20100418-1.patch

Also, I am running Fedora 12, and the fontconfig package comes defaulted 
with these files:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   52 2009-10-29 20:44 57-dejavu-sans.conf -> 
/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/57-dejavu-sans.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   57 2009-10-29 20:44 57-dejavu-sans-mono.conf -> 
/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/57-dejavu-sans-mono.conf
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root   53 2009-10-29 20:44 57-dejavu-serif.conf -> 
/usr/share/fontconfig/conf.avail/57-dejavu-serif.conf
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1917 2008-08-09 16:24 99-DejaVu-autohinter-only.conf

These were interfering with DejaVu in Firefox and other apps (not ftdiff 
though).  Maybe your setup also has something similar?  I can at least 
get my DejaVu fonts to use the patch now.  The v's and w's are a little 
distorted, but that is a larger issue than just this font I think.

Now onto Palatino....
