Patch that replaces Splash font rendering by Qt font rendering
Previously, the Arthur backend would use Splash code to do its font rendering.
That was not a satisfactory solution: Qt can do font rendering directly. Also,
the Splash font rendering in the Arthur code had a few bugs, which lead to
legible-but-not-pretty fonts.
This patch replaces the Splash font rendering by Qt font rendering. It only
adds the new code, in order to make the diff short and easy to review. A
subsequent patch will then remove the Splash code in Arthur (which is quite a
bit).
I took a lot of inspiration from Mihai Niculescu's patch at
<a href="https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/poppler/2013-June/010370.html">https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/poppler/2013-June/010370.html</a>
That's why the patch adds Mihai's name in the copyright list.
Bear with me if this patch is doing something really stupid: I am not a font
expert.</pre>
