"infinality" patches?

[Ankur Sinha]

Hi folks,

A user in #fedora informed me about infinality.net[1] patches which
apparently improve font rendering etc. on systems. Would anyone know
about these? Are they worth incorporating into fedora? (Do we already
have them?)

The site says these are free, as in freedom, although I haven't audited
the files myself.

IIRC those patches enable a specific style of rendering, which is closest
to what people are used on some other oses and is liked by some and hated
by others

so it's no magic receipe at all, and anything useful needs to be merged
upstream first imho
