Description Frederic Crozat 2003-08-19 07:26:01 UTC 
This bug is a follow-up of an old Xft 2.0 bug which was fixed by keith 6 months
ago (I'll attached the fix patch) but which has reappear when switching to Xft
2.1. Patch is no longer applicable (partially merged), so I guess some part of
it are missing.

In Mozilla GTK2, if you try to display web pages containing both AA and non-AA
glyphs on the same line (usually, when displaying Japanese, Korean or Chinese
pages, with only unscalable fonts), non-AA glyphs are output as garbage. 

For what I recall from irc discussion with keith, it was a bug in Xft which was
fixed by the attached patch... Unfortunately, it is back with Xft 2.1.

I've tried to dig further for this bug (in fact, I was able to apply the format
= 0  and if (!format || format->|| font->format->depth > format->depth) ormat =
 font->format;) stuff.

It fixed the garbare but it also changed glyphs rendering (hinting mainly)..

I'm not sure it is the right fix to use..

Any idea ?

Sorry, my latest comment is incorrect, it doesn't fix glyph corruption..
