I'm not actually sure that antialiasing is all that in use outside of fonts and some imaging apps. Comments? G'day, eh? :) - Teunis

Font engines will do the rasterization internally (to get the hinting right for example) so I don't know when this can be outsourced into an external drawing library...

And antialiased drawing doesn't belong there it is not hardware accelerated (on most hardware, IIRC I've heard about next generation 3D-cards supporting antialiased edges), and because the software implementations would be very different from normal 2D drawing. //Marcus -- ---+ Marcus Sundberg| http://www.stacken.kth.se/~mackan Royal Institute of Technology | Phone: +46 707 295404 Stockholm, Sweden | E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
