Thanks. BTW, the reason why I'm asking is that I've been using the Truetype stuff in the past and I don't recall the need for bitblt mods. Is there a possibility that once upon a time there was a need for this and now there no longer is? The date on the changeset is 2004...<br>

IIRC this is for sub-pixel font rendering support and was never officially integrated. With current bitblt you do nit git sub-pixel AA.<br>

Or, as Andreas thinks, "nit git" came from thinking "bitblt". Or...</div>
