@IOhannes:

>it seems that i remember dan (or was it miller) pointing to the newly

introduced zoom feature which complicates things a bit more. and dynamic

font managing. and what not. (probably check the archives)

the conclusion for me is: there *are* downsides.


The zoom feature will work with the correct doubles from pdx metrics, this are the actual doubles of vanilla:

set font_zoom2_metrics {
    12 20
    14 26
    18 32
    20 42
    30 50
    50 90
}

Does *downside* to you is having a little more white space?

Pdx font metrics wont break vanilla patches.
