Due to the way that Core Animation works, setting the background color of a layer is different from drawing into the layer (you can think of it like drawing twice, once for the background color and once for the actual layer content). As such, when the text is drawn, there is only 'clear color' for the text to draw over, and thus you get no subpixel smoothing. You can get subpixel smoothing in CATextLayer by subclassing and overriding -drawInContext: to first draw an opaque color into the target context before calling -[super drawInContext:]. -- David Duncan _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list ([email protected]) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
