Re: Pre-multiplied alpha

And for me, art backend is faster than xlib one. The font quality is rather 
good with subpixel rendering enabled.
Especially URW fonts included in ghostscript... I can send a screenshot if 
anyone wants to see :-)

  Whats to stop you using those fonts in libart ? Granted the free fonts arent
  stunning, but if you happen to own others then theres nothing to stop you
  using them. I have grabbed quite a few fonts from various.

  I never saw a difference - the major win in art (for me) is that it actually
  works properly when doing drawing (scaled and rotated text for example). I
  cant think of anything which works in xlib but is broken in art. Admittedly I
  havent tried exporting displays to other X servers though.
  
  -bat.
