Comment 125 for bug 164640

I think the patch you applied should really be credited to whomever did the original patch (David Turner and Sylvain Pasche?), as all the fallback code I jimmied with is gone (also, it was mostly just playing with others' code).

Also, in _fill_xrender_bitmap in the FT_PIXEL_MODE_LCD_V part of the switch, there's an #if 1 ... 0xFF000000 ; #else ... #endif which makes it fully opaque. I would remove everything in the #if 1 ... #else section, and keep what's in the #else ... #endif.
