@achaphiv Can you please update the PPA to FreeType 2.8?

Actually FreeType 2.8.1 is available now, which has some font rendering improvements:

achaphiv commented 7 years ago

Sure, I'll take a look at upgrading it.

achaphiv commented 7 years ago

I updated to 2.8.

I'm waiting on https://github.com/archfan/infinality_bundle to update for 2.8.1.

kq01526 commented 7 years ago

Okay, thanks, asked for an update over there: https://github.com/archfan/infinality_bundle/issues/17

https://github.com/archfan/infinality_bundle/issues/17 still has not been solved.

Due to bugs in 2.8.1 that ships with Bionic I spent some time understanding @achaphiv's scripts and learning a bit about the technologies involved at the same time. While not quite a pull request because of my experiments, this will build FreeType 2.9.1 with v38 and all optional dependencies enabled. You only need to change the name and email address at line 91 in workdir/pull-source to correspond to your private key. You can generate your key by running gpg2 --gen-key.

Note that this hardcodes the key that upstream code is signed with, you may want to swap the comment status on lines 99 and 101 if you are not OK with that.

archfan/infinality_bundle#17 now has the patches fixed up for 2.9.1 compatibility.

achaphiv commented 6 years ago

Building 2.9.1 now.

Thanks for the heads up @pandasauce .

You also saved me a lot of time with the --enable-freetype-config hint. I now remember how much I hate debian packaging.

achaphiv commented 6 years ago

2.9.1 is built for bionic.
