150161 - QuickDraw rendering lost with version 0.3

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 151367

(Camino Graveyard :: Page Layout, defect)

Description

[Moritz Guth]

I really loved the possibility to use the good old QuickDraw rendering when
displaying webpages in Chimera up to version 0.2.8. When I installed 0.3 today
on my OS X 10.1.5 this option was completely lost.

Does this feature come back in future versions? The snooth Quartz looks nice on
bigger fonts but makes reading smaller text nearly impossible. Additionally the
browser seems to render some fonts with Quartz (e.g. Arial) and dome with
Quickdraw (e.g. Geneva) which looks really **** when both kinds are used on
the same page.

I would also like to go back to the ATSUI method and anyway there should be a
feature that allow you to choose between QuickDraw, Quartz, and ATSUI.

So basically a RFE to have a pref for setting text display to QuickDraw, 10.1.5
Quartz text, or ATSUI. To avoid this being overly technical (against the spirit
of Chimera), there could just be a three-tick slider that says 

Text Display
Faster | | | Smoother

with Quartz for faster, 10.1.5 for the middle, and ATSUI for Better. If this is
still to much of a geek feature it could just be a documented option in the
prefs file with no front-end.

And secondly figure out why text seems to be displaying using different systems
on the same page; the link submitted with the bug is a great example, with the
dates antialiased and everything else QuickDraw. This seems much higher priority
than the options for different rendering systems, especially since the one we're
using now is a nice middle-of-the-road solution.

Normally, I'd mark bug 151367 a duplicate of this one, since it's newer.
However, its' Summary is better.
