Perhaps, this is the explanation I was looking for. You are basically saying that sRGB imposed by the monitor is not a good idea for high contrast text rendering and has to be undone. I can buy that. So when you talk about gamma of about 2 you actually mean power of about 1/2. I was confused. _______________________________________________ Freetype-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
