I mean if ‘fill’ color has an alpha (for instance 0x80), mask is also an alpha (for instance 0x80), I expect the target to be blent with the color modified with an alpha of 0x40 (full fill color x mask alpha => blent to target).

The PIXMAN_OP_OVER operator used with a solid color, a PIXMAN_a8 mask
and a PIXMAN_r8g8b8a8 target will multiply the fill color with the pixel
from the a8 mask and then blend the result onto the target image.

But maybe this is not what you want to do. If not, it might be helpful
if you could post images showing what you would like to get, and what
you are getting.
