Re: [ft] caching subsystem, caching images?

[Ulrich Mierendorff]

Ok, I think I've got it...
If the glyph is "small" enough it will use the sbit cache and it is not 
rerendered. That is very fast (~100times faster).
But I wonder why the glyph size limit was set to 48px in the example?
Kind regards,
Ulrich
