spectecjr writes "Looks like Microsoft have at last released some detailed information on their ClearType technology. It involves a whole load of Fourier Analysis to come up with the optimal distribution of color energy and to reduce color fringing. You can read the paper and more indepth info in PDF and gZipped PostScript, as well as the paper submitted to the IEEE Signal Processing Letters journal PDF. Samples of ClearType vs. standard anti-aliasing are up online too."
