From b757ef94ef15093b8851598f85ef047379c341b5 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: llyyr Date: Sun, 26 Feb 2023 16:12:19 +0530 Subject: sway{,bar}: use default font hint style CAIRO_HINT_STYLE_FULL attempts to maximize contrast at the expense of fidelity, this makes most fonts that haven't been hand hinted, which makes up the majority of fonts out there, appear much worse. In the absence of explicitly set hint style, cairo will default to CAIRO_HINT_STYLE_SLIGHT, which attempts to improve contrast while retaining fidelity to the original shapes, which is what we want. --- sway/tree/container.c | 1 - swaybar/render.c | 2 -- 2 files changed, 3 deletions(-) diff --git a/sway/tree/container.c b/sway/tree/container.c index 335dae87..8222a506 100644 --- a/sway/tree/container.c +++ b/sway/tree/container.c @@ -508,7 +508,6 @@ static void render_titlebar_text_texture(struct sway_output *output, cairo_t *c = cairo_create(dummy_surface); cairo_set_antialias(c, CAIRO_ANTIALIAS_BEST); cairo_font_options_t *fo = cairo_font_options_create(); - cairo_font_options_set_hint_style(fo, CAIRO_HINT_STYLE_FULL); if (output->wlr_output->subpixel == WL_OUTPUT_SUBPIXEL_NONE) { cairo_font_options_set_antialias(fo, CAIRO_ANTIALIAS_GRAY); } else { diff --git a/swaybar/render.c b/swaybar/render.c index ccf36563..6a983e97 100644 --- a/swaybar/render.c +++ b/swaybar/render.c @@ -774,14 +774,12 @@ void render_frame(struct swaybar_output *output) { ctx.cairo = cairo; cairo_font_options_t *fo = cairo_font_options_create(); - cairo_font_options_set_hint_style(fo, CAIRO_HINT_STYLE_FULL); cairo_font_options_set_antialias(fo, CAIRO_ANTIALIAS_GRAY); ctx.textaa_safe = fo; if (output->subpixel == WL_OUTPUT_SUBPIXEL_NONE) { ctx.textaa_sharp = ctx.textaa_safe; } else { fo = cairo_font_options_create(); - cairo_font_options_set_hint_style(fo, CAIRO_HINT_STYLE_FULL); cairo_font_options_set_antialias(fo, CAIRO_ANTIALIAS_SUBPIXEL); cairo_font_options_set_subpixel_order(fo, to_cairo_subpixel_order(output->subpixel)); -- cgit v1.2.3
