public class HintMetrics
extends org.freedesktop.bindings.Constant
extends org.freedesktop.bindings.Constant

Whether to hint the font rendering based on alignment to the integer pixel grid. Forcing this OFF is necessary if you want perfect linear scaling of your rendered fonts.

The default setting is to be inherited, and while probably ON; the presence of DEFAULT means you can generally leave this alone and not worry about it.

Field Summary
`static HintMetrics`	`DEFAULT` Default is like "unset"; the existing value from the surrounding environment (Context, Surface, Font in use, Font rendering back end, etc) will be used.
`static HintMetrics`	`OFF` Turn metric hinting
`static HintMetrics`	`ON` Hinting font metrics means "quantizing them so that they are integer values" in the target Surface's physical rendering co-ordinate space.

Field Detail

DEFAULT

public static final HintMetrics DEFAULT

Default is like "unset"; the existing value from the surrounding environment (Context, Surface, Font in use, Font rendering back end, etc) will be used.

Since:: 4.0.10

OFF

public static final HintMetrics OFF

Turn metric hinting

Since:: 4.0.10

ON

public static final HintMetrics ON

Hinting font metrics means "quantizing them so that they are integer values" in the target Surface's physical rendering co-ordinate space. This is good for visual appearance but breaks perfect smoothness when doing linear scaling (such as in animation if zooming in).
