Smile Firefox 3.0.1: Enable Using Subpixel Hunting!

Finally After I working on it in the last night, I success making Firefox 3 using FreeType2 Subpixel Hunting, By rebuild mozilla-xulrunner190 from rpm source with enable-system-cairo and enable-system-freetype2.

Before:


After:



And I upload this version as rpm, with mozilla-xulrunner190.spec, So you can build your own file if you like.
link: (32bit version ONLY)
zSHARE - mozilla-xulrunner190.tar.bz2

PS: If you want to build your own file, make sure that you must using cairo-devel Version 1.6, and you can get it from this repo.
Index of /repositories/GNOME:/GTK:/Factory

In the last, unfortunately this version of cairo 1.6, and version 1.4 that came with openSUSE or with update repo. doesn't supporting to use freetype2 subpixel hunting, but I found that there is a cairo version that works with me very well. (1.4.*)
http://software.opensuse.org/ymp/GNO...11.0/cairo.ymp
And now my GTK apps such GNOME and other, using fonts as well

But you must lock this version after installing it, to make sure that openSUSE not update it in future with update versions that doesn't supporting freetype2 subpixel hunting!


To installing this version of mozilla-xulrunner190, you most installing it by force, because it is the same version that you using on yours system.
Code:
rpm -ivh mozilla-xulrunner190-1.9.0.1-2.1.i586.rpm  --force
SuSEconfig
I hope if there is any member have a personal repo. to make uploading of this version on it, to share it with all of you.

By the way, I am only End-User, not development

Enjoy..
