Agenda:
- Skia
- Google's Skia team will be present for the first part of the call
- Main objective is to get to know each other and present any immediate questions we have
- Chromium uses its own version of SkFontHost on Linux - why?
- fontconfig, maybe?
- They didn't know to merge it back in.
- Wrapping an SkFontFace around a FT_Face
- that is exactly what they do in the Linux backend
- They have a #define to remove static initializers/constructors
- Hardware Accelerated Performance in Powersave
- bug 721273
- Bas can reproduce
- IE9 is way faster than us
- Re-uploading images can be part of the problem
- We don't retain gradients
- Textures for text
- D2D 1.1 can help a lot too
- To do: PIX run with draw timing
- Accelerating
- Everyone should work harder.
- Still have to find time to cleanup other stuff
