Yes, but these options shown with checkboxes, not with radio buttons (when you must choose one among them). This needs to be fixed. I found that HintingNormal is best on my display. HintingLight renders edges with too high color contrast (for my eyes). Changing the GlyphContrast makes the whole glyphs dim (while i expected only edges contrast). > Only LCD screens where the subpixel stripes are ordered RGB, and run > vertically are supported. > These are the most common type of LCD; others include.. > horizontal stripes. > BGR stripes > some non-striped arrangement of the RGB subpixels. e.g. the OLPC XO screen > > Supporting BGR will probably be easy. > Supporting horizontal stripes will be harder . > Non-striped arrangements is hardest - one would need to know the physical > pixel co-ordinates for each BitBlt pixel operation. > > What settings do you use in Ubuntu? > RGB > Cheers, > Andy > > "Igor Stasenko" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote in message > news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] >> >> Everything looks nice except that i'm not very happy with subpixel >> rendering on my display. >> >> In Ubuntu you have options, to choose a display type , most preferable >> for subpixel rendering, and i guess, that freetype renders glyphs in >> worst way, so when i see it on display, i can easily detect a blue/red >> pixels surrounding glyphs. >> >> Is there an option in freetype, to choose the subpixel rendering mode? >> >> Or maybe its because my eyes is still sharp :) > > > > _______________________________________________ > Pharo-project mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project > -- Best regards, Igor Stasenko AKA sig. _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
