put forth the proposition:
Hi,
Qt4 binding of poppler (using Splash backend) has
a method to configure the anti-aliasing and hinting;
Poppler::Document::setRenderHint().
Thus, it would be possible for the application
using poppler-qt4 to have a preference switch.
But poppler cairo backend does not have a method
for such purpose. I've ever written a patch to add
such method. See discussion beginning from
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/poppler/2010-August/006271.html
Anyway, there was no consensus whether such feature
is good idea, because too many configurable parameters
do not help the user but confuse them.
# BTW, I've not worked for the anti-aliasing on
# graphic object. I only tested the font/text objects.

Hi mpsuzuki
Can you tell me which version of poppler the patch is for as it is
failing to apply with the latest source?

I ask because Evince (using poppler(cairo) backend) shows text as
quite blurry. Here's a screenshot to show you how it looks. On the
left of the vertical line is Chromium browser, on the right is Evince
rendering some text:

My eyes aren't great and prefer a crisper font rendering these days.
I'm running Slackware 14.0 with fluxbox as WM and have anti-aliasing
turned in fontconfig.
Any help greatly appreciated.
