RE: Why does the Prime use anti aliasing on text?
(07-08-2019 02:36 PM)TheLastMillennial Wrote: I recently learned that the Prime uses anti aliasing on text and I am unsure why it's necessary. Could the text have been left alone? Why was anti aliasing chosen over subpixel rendering? Personally, I don't care that much for the anti aliasing, is there any way to reduce it, remove it, or turn it off? Are you volunteering to make pixel perfect drawings of 35 thousand characters in a variety of sizes?  Freetype2 is used for font rendering from a standard TTF font. Subpixel rendering is not used because it didn't really help (too small and low resolution of a screen) and increases memory use by 3x. Anti-aliasing is the wrong word here - the default freetype2 autohinter is in use. Turning it off would make things unreadable, not better. TW Although I work for HP, the views and opinions I post here are my own. |
