Re: [9fans] problem using a vera font in rio

[matt]

i don't know.  it's not libfreetype.  fontsrv asks the OS X
graphics code to render each glyph into a box and then
concatenates the boxes to make the subfont.
all the text was noticeably lighter (more grey)
than in your screen shot when i put them side by side.
   


this is due to apple's algorithm for rendering glyphs.

I don't know if it is relevant but OSX uses a 1.8 Gamma whereas PC's (& 
TVs) use 2.2
