IMHO, the rougher/original anti-aliased fonts/lines make them look a lot more crisp and less blurry. I'm all for looking smooth, but we've always changed it be plain-old pixelation, so I'm not wondering if I have something in my eyes.
my tiny vote is to either make it configurable, or have 1.2.x withOUT the smoothing. -allspaw ----- Original Message ---- > From: Jesse Becker <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: Ganglia Developers <[email protected]> > Sent: Saturday, February 2, 2008 6:25:22 PM > Subject: [Ganglia-developers] rrdtool 1.0.x/1.2.x font differences > > I noticed recently that two common versions of rrdtool have different > font choices, which directly affects Ganglia's graphs.
