How do I set font hinting when using SkParagraph?

[Roman Petrenko]

There used to be a method to specify font hinting on SkPaint, but it was moved to SkFont. However, when using textlayout/SkParagraph, I don't seem to have a way to access SkFont structs to call methods on them, I can only provide SkTypeface via font manager. So is it possible to set font hinting when using SkParagraph with current Skia?

Did you ever find a solution for this? We've patched the OneLineShaper to hardcode kSubpixelAntiAlias for now, but we'd also like to have the ability to set font hinting / edging dynamically in SkParagraph.

Sorry for the late response David, we ended up doing exactly what you described.

Cheers. We ended up patching it to allow dynamic setting of the hinting, but we'd love to see this supported natively in Skia!
