i now know of at least two programs which output broken files when run on musl, but work fine when run on glibc

not to mention all the spurious crashes, which don’t happen on glibc

istg glibc renders PDFs more crisply. i’m not even joking, i changed NOTHING except for libc. why does this happen :throwing-hands-up-crying:

shoutouts to bedrock linux for allowing me to change nothing but the libc btw

@domi ooooh, bedrock, haven't kept up with it, how is it doing?

@domi have you looked into libm and floating-point rounding setting shenanigans? (wild guess)

@domi I wish there was libc that isn't hardcore POSIX while also not being kitchen-sink type

@domi I would really love to know why a PDF render would come out different depending on libc. not that it sounds rewarding to look into it

@domi
could it be different rounding in libm or sth?

@domi I think that using 24 karat gold plated cables will render PDFs even more crisply than that!
