Font rendering is inherently anti-aliased on recent Windows platforms, using whatever anti-aliasing is selected for the desktop (i.e. it's a system setting, not a fltk option.) MS provide quite a variety of rendering options, several of which work very well indeed. Older windows systems were not anti-aliased by default, though options were provided to enable it. IIRC it was off by default in XP (I may be wrong about that) though I think they did provide options that would anti-alias (e.g. ClearType, which works quite well.) The actual fonts being selected may matter - is it possible the fonts being selected are "non-standard" in some way? _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
