Hello Anders, you just caught me being sloppy. I needed a method to
override the packaged versions and by trial and error it appeared that I
have to increment ubuntuX. I had been using this method for a while when
I figured I can save work for myself if skip incremental updates during
development period if I use ubuntuX+n.
Perhaps I should use a bit more care considering that these packages are
also consumed publicly.
On another note, you posted a patch in 2007 to the upstream bug report.
Can’t we do anything to close this upstream? I know upstream wants a
patch and sees no difference between LCD filter and no filtering anyhow.
But really.
And then there’s the issue that Carl Worth removed the LCD filtering API
from Cairo because some test suite images came out differently. In PDF
rendering we cannot follow the desktop settings because only slight
hinting and the across-pixel filter work properly on PDFs. We have to
have control over the font rendering settings.
