Subject: freetype rgba font rendering
Date: Fri, 09 Dec 2016 15:27:35 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <87oa0l41pk.fsf@wavexx.thregr.org> (raw)

I'm on emacs 25.1.1 (emacs25-lucid on debian unstable) and noticed that
while all font rendering settings seems to correctly come from
fontconfig, the "rgba" setting (subpixel hinting) doesn't seem to have
any effect. It defaults to disabled.

The Xft.rgba X resource *does* have effect though.

I noticed just yesterday, as I normally had subpixel hinting disabled
everywhere (matching the default), and didn't have to set any X
resources for Xft so far. I tested some other settings, and Xft.rgba
seems to be the only exception.

Can somebody confirm this without having to inspect the source?
