[Laszlo-dev] pixel locking

[Henry Minsky]

If there are a bunch of constraints or something which cause a view to end up
at a non integer x and y position, pixellock will snap it the nearest
integer values.

Back in the Flash 5 days, there was an issue with embedded fonts where
the font would be blurry in
a text view which was not aligned to an integer pixel value. I don't
know if this
is an issue with device fonts (fonts that are stored and rendered by
the underlying
client operating system), or even if it is still an issue with embedded fonts.

 Note that we now use device fonts by default in Laszlo
apps, unless otherwise specified by a <font> tag  to include an embedded font.

DHTML apps don't support embedded fonts at all currently.
