Arch Linux

Might we see lib32 packages of cairo, freetype2 and libxft maybe?

Updated to 2.3.11.

The cleartype patch still applies to freetype 2.3.11. To update, you only need to set pkgver=2.3.11 and update the md5sum.

yaourt say "you must have freetype installed" and could not build???

with freetype2 installed it builds fine.. should i remove freetype 2 afterwards?

Oops... Update again for missing .diff file.

Sorry for my mistake.

Same missing file here.

The freetype-2.2.1-subpixel-disable-quantization.diff is missing.

Freetype2 2.3.8 is out and is in extra also (well, at least for 64 bit...)

- Updated to 2.3.7

Sorry for the mistake I made..

Updated PKGBUILD for freetype 2.3.7 here:
http://pastebin.ca/1065441

Tested OK on my machine, no guarantees given.

The PKGBUILD downloads the 2.3.6 source code, not the 2.3.5...

Package version is 2.3.6 but PKGBUILD provides freetype2 2.3.5. Bug?

Simply amazing! I'm using Tahoma with all three ClearType patched packages and it looks very good.

- Updated to 2.3.6

thanks for the package, font looks better now!

Updated to 2.3.5

Take version to 2.2.1

Yes, I reverted back to 2.2.1 because it looks much better.

Any differs with old version , maybe 2.2.1 have best effect.

Upgrade 2.3.1

Fix pkgrel

In case anyone is wondering: the patch seems to still work with freetype2 2.3.1

Fonts are so much better now. Thanks.

Some vista cjk fonts have red edge on subpixel antialiasing,they must be ClearType.

ClearType exists in XP too.
There\'s also an utility to configure it on M$\'s site.
But from what I\'ve seen it\'s not much different than subpixel antialiasing.

If you want vista\'s ClearType Font with LCD display,it will work very well.

Is it will look better than subpixel + auto-hinting ?

Since this is a new package, your pkgrel should be equal to 1.
