--- Comment #8 from Richard Tollerton <[email protected]> 2011-06-25 07:17:54 UTC --- I tend to agree that the 0.8-1.0 range looks the best. I'd probably choose gamma 1.0, for the simple fact that.... it's 1. I've attached a rudimentary specimen LaTeX doc that covers most of the math symbols documented on Wikipedia, plus a few sample formulas. From there, I played with adjusting math fonts and sizes, to see if I could find anything significantly better than cm at gamma 1.0. Lemme know if you want these PNGs uploaded (they're big). I particularly focused on sans- serifs under the hopes of killing two birds with one stone -- I suppose that, while we're on the topic of esoteric typesetting issues, we probably shouldn't be pairing Computer Modern with whatever default sans-serif font is used for the rest of Wikipedia :) The Arev font looks *particularly* nice; even at gamma 0.5, it's quite weighty, yet has clearly distinguishable boldfaces. But it seems to have three or four significant rendering issues (specifically: capital "I", vertical var "|", and over/underbraces) and I'm not a big fan of the parentheses. If you can tolerate more blurriness, and 10-100x worse performance, you can make convert upsample the equation by 2-4x, resample with a Gaussian filter, then apply some ridiculously dark gamma setting. The filter's blurriness gives the gamma compression a lot of room to work in, and unsurprisingly, all of the rendering artifacts I originally mentioned vanish. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug.
