1404749 - UnscaledFont cannot be released off the main thread at the moment

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Graphics: Layers, enhancement)

Description

[Bas Schouten (:bas.schouten)]

Due to issues described in bug 1404742. Currently (Un)ScaledFont objects cannot be released on the mainthread. In order to work around this issue, Matt has suggested releasing the capture drawtargets on the mainthread. This isn't optimal for performance. But it would take a blocker away from OMTP.

Maybe file a follow-up bug to investigate a better performing solution?
