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...
Cheers, - Andreas

I don't really know the background on this, but assuming that this is an incremental change to BitBltSimulation, and that the changes are MIT licensed, and also that they are in need of a home, then adding them to the VMMaker package would be the right thing to do.
Andreas should have veto rights, as I believe that he is the author of BitBltSimulation.
The original author of BBSim is of course Dan. My only question about these changes is that I'm not sure what they're actually doing
- it looks like rgbMul:with: except that it's been unrolled for
various cases. Does anyone know what these changes are supposed to be doing, where they are used, and why rgbMul:with: is not sufficient?
The changes are Andy Tweens extensions for subpixel anti-aliassing for freetype. I'm not sure why rgbMul:with: isn't sufficient.
Do you know if he's around to shed some light on it?
