https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D225072 --- Comment #2 from lightside <lightside@gmx.com> --- There is following important changes for 2.8.1 version in docs/CHANGES file: -8<-- II. IMPORTANT CHANGES - By default, FreeType now offers high quality LCD-optimized output without resorting to ClearType techniques of resolution tripling and filtering. In this method, called Harmony, each color channel is generated separately after shifting the glyph outline, capitalizing on the fact that the color grids on LCD panels are shifted by a third of a pixel. This output is indistinguishable from ClearType with a light 3-tap filter. -->8- As I understood, the (so-called) Harmony method for "high quality LCD-optim= ized output" may be enabled, if not define FT_CONFIG_OPTION_SUBPIXEL_RENDERING, which relates to (disabled) LCD_FILTERING port's option: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/freetype/freetype2.git/commit/?id=3D410f3= 799b6a193e20b34c574e6f0f2be2428b1eb Possible to remove LCD_FILTERING port's option from OPTIONS_DEFAULT variabl= e to enable "Harmony LCD rendering" by default. I guess, maintainer may decide a= bout this, if needed. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
