Subject: bug#37932: [PATCH] Support hidpi fringes and images with Cairo
Date: Thu, 11 Jan 2024 15:38:08 -0300

I would say that the lengthy discussions in:

- https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=37689
- https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=37770
- https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=37755

are my only legacy. Rereading them I found some relevant remarks about
the problems I bumped into at the time.

But that's it. My apologies, I'm checking and I'm not even able to
find the fork where I had been working on this.

Why are you interested in it? Isn't it kind of obsolete now that there
is a pure GTK backend?
