Description
There have been a number of subjective patches around for altering the FIR constants used in ./freetype-2.3.12/src/base/ftlcdfil.c I've seen at least 4 different sets of values: light: { 0, 85, 86, 85, 0 } default: { 0x10, 0x40, 0x70, 0x40, 0x10 } gentoo-bug306053:{ 0x1C, 0x38, 0x55, 0x38, 0x1C } russian forum: {8, 28, 100, 80, 40};
Here was the Gentoo bug: http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=306053 We told the user to take it upstream, he never did, but it came up again.
Here's the google cache of Russian forum post, as the original seems to have gone: http://tinyurl.com/yl5kyup
Can we please introduce a way to set the constants from fontconfig, and let the users duke it out amongst themselves?
