<div dir="ltr">Hello Gentlemen, For those of you not following Freedesktop bug <a href="http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10301">10301</a>, it involves cairo's use of Freetype's lcd filtering abilities, which are considered by some to be better than cairo's old built-in lcd filtering. Attached here and to that bug is a patch that sits on top of a revert of commit 5d887ad5dca5af0f8216830d1b04d08a5aba9bee (which reverted freetype lcd_filtering from cairo). Comments for changes to these patches are more than welcome (I need to spruce up my C a bit). I would also like some assistance on a different project: bringing freetype autohinting-derived lsb/rsb deltas into cairo.  A demonstration by David Turner is <a href="http://www.mail-archive.com/freetype-devel@nongnu.org/msg01846.html">here</a>. While we already have excellent text rasterization, I do think we still lag a little bit behind the commercial sector.  If we can one day match Adobe in text technology, well that's just a win for free software everywhere. Thanks again, Nicolaus L Hepler </div>
