Xft Support For Mozilla
keithp writes "The results of a few short hours of hacking by blizzard (with a bit of help from me) can be seen here." According to Keith, "The hope is to have a patch of less than 100 lines; currently it's more like 400 lines. ... The patch uses a new version of the Xft library available at
http://keithp.com. That will be integrated into the XFree86 CVS tree after 4.2 stablizes; the existing Xft library will remain in place for backwards compatibility. One feature of the new library is that it works with older X servers that don't have the Render extension, providing AA text (including the LCD optimizations) for any screen with a TrueColor visual." Chris Blizzard provided a link to the patch itself, as it stands right now.
the first link autocloses the window...
And am I the only one that thought "Wow, Blizzard stopped coding for WarCraft 3 to help Mozilla out?!?"
Good quote, too many chars. Seriously, the slashdot 120 char limit sucks!
I thought AA was supposed to help things looks less blurry!
At this rate it's well on its way to becoming the Emacs of the browser world, and it might even be there now.
With complements like that, who needs insults?
Sometimes it's best to just let stupid people be stupid.
I'm pretty sure emacs fanatics will tell you that emacs already is the emacs of the browser world.
vim junkies will probably say the same thing about emacs, but I don't think they'll mean it in the same way as the emacs fanatics ;)
A sphincter says what?
