Re: [ft-devel] QRasterizer - a new rasterizer faster than freetype

[David Turner]

I'm still interested to see how this works though. Anyone has the source code ?, I feel reluctant to download and unpack a 80 MB tarball just to see this.

The performance of rasterizing various paths with QRasterizer compared to the Freetype rasterizer can bee seen in the following figure:
