Have you tried the antialiased fonts in KDE, WinXP or recent versions of Gtk+? They look *fantastic*, and are generated with exactly the method I propose -- a very high resolution bitmap is generated and then downsampled into a grayscale image that is alpha composited onto the screen. The plib TXF loader already does the second part, there simply aren't any tools to do the rendering and downsampling. Andy -- Andrew J.
