hi,
here is round 2 of my big font overhaul patch:
http://people.redhat.com/graydon/cairo-caches-oct-07-2004.patch
I've made a number of corrections based on received feedback (and
omitted some, not because I necessarily disagree with them but because
it seems like they can be addressed incrementally, later, when we have
more experience). the changes since last time are:
- cairo_font_t has a scale factor stored in it, and a reference
to a cairo_unscaled_font_t. when you get cairo_current_font
you get "the current font at the current scale", which you can
hold on to and re-install in the future. this means that there
are actually zero changes to cairo.h, with this patch.
- gone is the stuff related to points and DPI. a font begins as a
1-user-unit object, and has its device size set by composing the
scale matrix and CTM. nothing else.
- the generic cache is rewritten to crib much more extensively from
keith's other code, in particular xserver/render/glyph.c. it
uses less memory, involves fewer backend functions, and performs
better.
hopefully this fixes the most violent objections. may I commit it?
