dnkl: I just randomly saw your question wrt freetype and gamma corrected rendering, I think only skia does that correctly, like the gerenal technique on how to.
<kchibisov>
There were a page trying to describe how to do it, but I think it's gone.
<kchibisov>
The most annoying part of all of that is that you need alpha mask correction based on background color.
<kchibisov>
Because freetype gives you a mask in srgb, but then you need to blend in linear, and then back to srgb.
<kchibisov>
But without correcting alphmask it'll look in overly thin font.
<kchibisov>
There was idea to deal with that with premultiplied alpha, but I haven't researched into it much.

I know about skia because I remember the code in it dealing with all of that, and you can sort of figure out from it something... it surely was grepable in the past.

And given that everyone one linux is used to wrong font rendering trying to be correct may not worth all the extra complexity it adds, especially if you try to deal subpixel correctly here.
<kchibisov>
If you figure out more on that it would be nice, but without alpha mask correction gamma correct rendering looks really weird.

Hello, the program doeesn't seem to compile from the aur, and I'd like to keep my packages managed by my package manager. (The hardcoded version is also not compiling for me)
<jmjl>
Might be a issue with the package, but I'm not sure
<cbb>
jmjl: that's quite unclear
<cbb>
what do you mean by "doeesn't seem to compile"? is there an error message?
<cbb>
what do you mean by "the hardcoded version"?
<cbb>
if you mean the versioned package, I'm pretty sure that moved to the mainline Arch repos
<cbb>
so it's a binary package and thus already compiled
<cbb>
the foot-git package in AUR does indeed seem to be broken though

oh ok, so someone else that has the same issue

Also, Here's my config http://ix.io/4Dcw, and for some reason, using foot 1.15.2 from the extra repo in arch, the link function seems to not work. The full version data I get is: foot version: 1.15.2 +pgo +ime +graphemes +fractional-scaling +cursor-shape -assertions
