Is Pango used by OS/2 Moz apps? If so, might MOZ_DISABLE_PANGO=1 give us
the same rendering improvements as those shown (though anecdotal) on Linux?
I just stumbled on this issue again, and meant to follow up on it.
TIA

with Fontconfig (now a rewrite) and Freetype. Silvan has ported Pango
for Lucide and perhaps if I ever get bored I'll try to build with it.

What kind of rendering improvements do you see? IIRC Pango is most

Thanks for the clarification, Dave, and now I know why when I set that,
I see *no* rendering improvements on OS/2 (I have not tried on Linux, as
yet, but my reading tells me that with latin alphabets, I should see
faster rendering of *most* text with Pango disabled).
Cheers
