[Notion-devel] XFT patch

[Arnout E. <no...@bz...>]

Hello,

It seems there's a patch floating around for adding XFT support to ion3 - for
example I found it at

  http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=28065

It seems Tuomo was not too impressed by this patch (for example 
http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/ion-general/2007-December/000912.html ).

To be quite honest, I hardly know what XFT *is*, but it appears people care 
about it. Is it possible to support XFT (as a run-time option), so people who
want it have it but it isn't forced upon others?

Does anyone know who wrote this patch and how it's licensed? Do we want this?


Regards,

Arnout
