Re: gdttf.c version control ? (fwd)

Marko, this seems to be a call for action that is right up your alley. How about getting that 4-bit anti-alias hack in there? ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Wed, 08 Sep 1999 14:39:51 -0400 From: John Ellson <ellson@lucent.com> To: Rob Goodwin <rob@fusionmediagroup.com> Cc: rasmus@lerdorf.on.ca, jah@mork.net Subject: Re: gdttf.c version control ? Rob, Thanks for collecting the various versions together. This code is now in Tom Boutell's gd-1.6.3 (PNG only) so my preference would be to develop a patch against that. I assume it would be desirable for PHP to use an installed libgd.so or libgd.a without modification? Are there other changes for PHP that you folks would like to get into libgd at this time?
