Reading that web page, I'm not convinced MS made the right decision here
-- on my monitor (which is a ViewSonic LCD, probably pretty standard),
I'm not sure the ClearType examples really look any better, and they
certainly could
That plan makes sense to me.
The argument I was trying to make was against subpixel rendering as a
property of each Text object in matplotlib -- but later realised that's
not really applicable to what you're doing with the external math tool
anyway.

Maybe people understand different things by the name "subpixel
rendering". In Agg, subpixel rendering means antialiasing like this:

In Cairo, I'm guessing (since the OP mentioned Microsoft's ClearType)
that "subpixel rendering" means utilizing the

requiring any user intervention. I actually can't think of a use case

Hi all,
As some of you probably know I am working on the GSoC project to
externalise the Mathtex engine from Matplotlib. Today I have been
toying around with the renderer using various backends.
One of the interesting things that I discovered was that the Cairo
backend was making use of sub
