16:32 <remexre> I'm using foot with a bitmap font that has both 16px and 24px sizes (among others), and a Sway-configured scale factor of 1.5. What's the right way to make a pixelsize=16 result in just rendering the 24px version "pixel-perfect" ?

17:05 <dnkl> remexre: you can't, not with a fractional scaling factor

17:07 <dnkl> in fact, you can't get *any* font pixel perfect with fractional scaling

17:09 <remexre> dnkl: maybe I misunderstand how the scaling works then; I thought it was a request to the client that it scale sizes appropriately

17:09 <remexre> er, client in X terms at least; I'm new to Wayland, and not familiar with its architecture

17:10 <dnkl> that's true for integer scaling factors

17:10 <dnkl> with fractional scaling, the client scales to the nearest integer factor. The compositor then down scales the rendered image

17:11 <remexre> oh... that's unfortunate... is there a better way to handle displays that have a DPI that's in between 96 and 192?

17:12 <dnkl> use larger font sizes...

17:12 <remexre> can I configure font size per-monitor?

17:12 <dnkl> not in foot

17:13 <dnkl> if your monitors are at the same *viewing* distance you can set dpi-aware=yes in foot.ini

17:14 <remexre> foot --font="...:pixelsize=24" -o main.dpi-aware=yes is all I should need?

17:15 <dnkl> ah, no, dpi-aware rendering won't work with bitmap fonts... forgot to mention that.
