Request for beta-pgtk branch creation (i have the code ready for PR)
Closed this issue · 2 comments
Hello,
i'd like to request creation of beta-pgtk branch. There is a feature/pgtk branch [1] in GNU's Emacs git repo, which contains "pure GTK3" port of Emacs. It is intended to land in master eventually, but it hasn't yet.
The current Emacs flatpak is barely usable with Wayland on high-DPI screens with non-integer (fractional) scaling factors, as the text is rendered blurry. The pgtk branch fixes that - rendering on Wayland with fractional scaling is crisp. For me, and i expect for some others too, this is currently the only reasonable way to run graphical Emacs.
If and when the branch is created, i will submit a PR with code for it. I've tested it locally [2].
