I'm interested looking into the labeling painting code. However it
will probably not happen before the hackfest.<br>

<div>Hi,<br>
<br>
</div>
After many hours of visual testing,
monkeying with the code and generally
banging my head against a wall, I've come to
the conclusion I can not commit the partial
fix I have for this issue [0] without
possibly causing issues in other types of
output: canvas, composer, PDF, etc. Part of
this is due to the way I coded the new label
components and now it looks like there is
definitely something screwy with the way
server handles fonts. There are too many
variables and no really useful unit test
suite yet.<br>
<br>
</div>
I suggest the following course of action:<br>
<br>
</div>
1) Release the desktop version with this as a
known blocker, albeit mostly related to server
output.<br>
<br>
</div>
2) Have an experienced dev review the label
painting code who is familiar with both labeling
and server, e.g. Marco H., etc.<br>
<br>
</div>
3) While the code is being reviewed, I can work
towards finishing the initial unit test suite for
labeling (with crosschecks between canvas and
composer, server outputs). Absolutely no labeling
features are added or bug fixes committed until
there is a functioning test suite for the most
common labeling uses and outputs.<br>
</div>
<br>
</div>
4) When this issue is appropriately fixed and tested,
look at possibly releasing an updated server
component/pkg, if needed.<br>
