Ah, good point, I should have checked first. Using the following test
file:
\loadtypescriptfile[plex]
\setupbodyfont[plex-thin, sans]
\setupinterlinespace[1sp]
\define[1]\makeline{%
\setupbodyfont[#1pt]%
\dorecurse{
\numexpression(\textwidth / \widthofstring{l}) - 1\relax
}{l\hfill}%
\unskip%
\par%
}
\define\makelines{%
\processcommalist[2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 11, 12, 16, 24, 36, 72]\makeline%
}
\startTEXpage[width=6in]
\makelines
\startframedtext[
offset=0pt,
width=broad,
background=color,
backgroundcolor=black,
color=white,
]
\makelines
\stopframedtext
\stopTEXpage
Chromium and Firefox (pdf.js) use subpixel rendering, while Evince,
Okular, MuPDF, and xpdf just use greyscale antialiasing. I usually use
Firefox to view PDFs, and everything else on my system uses subpixel
rendering, so I just assumed that the rest of the PDF viewers did as
well.
Thanks,
