Are there plans to include gamma blending and stem darkening for rendering? #195

Yes, we finally got a DE with gamma blending for text. Now just waiting on stem darkening. |
I'd like it as well, but unfortunately, on Linux stem darkening might not look good with some OTF fonts.
Pop!_OS currently uses OTF versions of Fira fonts. I hope that either the developers of Freetype, the maintainers of iced, or the maintainers of COSMIC will be able to tweak/fix it somehow. |
I think the problem with those is that the fonts either aren't gamma blended (GTK), or use a value that doesn't match the display (I think Qt uses 1.8 instead of 2.2). I'm just guessing though, let's see what COSMIC devs come up with. EDIT: Though this does raise the interesting question, what if the display in question doesn't use 2.2? |
+1, text looks blurry We also need subpixel rendering |
As described by this freetype article: https://freetype.org/freetype2/docs/hinting/text-rendering-general.html
