The test app currently shows a number of problems in text rendering * Above a certain font-size, there is no glyph caching, which also means there is no sub-pixel filtering. It is actually the same problem right now for all vector-drawing. It uses the sub-pixel rendering pipeline, but without any filtering. * This test feels very sluggish. Something is going on which seems to be very unoptimized. To be observed when resizing the window and causing redraws. * Overlapping glyphs are handled wrongly in B_OP_COPY mode. The problem is that glyphs are drawn one at a time, but B_OP_COPY also draws the background color. In case some pixels already drawn with the text color by one glyph are drawn again by the next glyph, but with the background color, then it looks like gaps in the text. This problem has always existed. With the double filtering that was recently fixed, it was just especially visible, since, due to the smearing, it was much more likely that there were extra background pixels at the left side of glyphs. (Right side, too, but without visual effect.) Of course not completely transparent pixels, those are not drawn, but almost transparent pixels.

Haiku
Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs
Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.
Compiling Haiku
See ReadMe.Compiling.
Contributing
Haiku is a meritocratic open source project with a large variety of tasks. Even if you can't write code, you can still help! Haiku needs designers, (technical) writers, translators, testers... Get involved and help out!
