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!!"

    OS X has outstanding font rendering technology, but you don't see any /. posts about it. Somebody produces a half-ass hack for Gnome and it gets press. Typical.
