Anti-Aliased Fonts For GNOME

Posted by timothy on from the smoothing-the-edges dept.

McVeigh revels in this posting at Gnotices site which reads: "GDKFXT transparently adds anti-aliased font support to GTK+-1.2. Once you have installed it, you can run any (well, nearly any) existing GTK+ binary and see anti-aliased fonts in the GTK widgets. You don't need to recompile GTK+ or your application.'" He adds "I'm running it now -- it it looks great!!"

    smear vaseline on your monitor. the text will appear just as blurry as if you were using 'font smoothing' under windows 98.

    I have a old 14 inch ktx monitor with crap dot-pitch, thus I have full screen hardware anti-aliasing on everything ;-)

    Not only does OS X support anti-aliased fonts, but any bezier path is anti-aliased in OS X.

    Just imagine if something than runs on Linux does that, it would probably get it's own category on slashdot |-\
