I can think of one or 12 reasons off the top of my head, but the first
one that jumps to mind is that we decided to use Pango and Freetype to
do our font dirty-work. Freetype is a *very* high quality XP solution.
XFS and friends actually use freetype2 to do the majority of the work
for them. Sure, parts of Cuenca's patch should be applied regardless
(eg. spurious redraw code in the formatting engine), but this wasn't the
direction we were going for in HEAD. At least not to the best of my
knowledge.It's certainly not the direction I want HEAD to take. Feel
free too disagree.
