That was some nice explanation. Anti-aliasing is something you ought to integrate in any display system, or you will have jagged edges. Thus, some of the hype associated with Mac OS X's Carbon. I'd always thought anti-aliasing was simply resampling, tho'. Which means there is actually some blending but not blurring, most algorithms are careful enough not to degrade image quality. On the other hand, the end result varies since there are different algorithms. I find the KDE AA satisfactory on XFree86, tho. The fonts look good on a hi-res display. I think that was one advantage Windoze had, only until recently :) If you're viewing that screenshot with konqueror you will see a fairly accurate representation of what I'm using but if you use an image viewer that resamples that further for you, it will indeed look blurry. My feeling is that especially web pages look a lot more like they were intended to. So, could you tell me about your font settings? Thanks, - -- Eray Ozkural (exa) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Comp. Sci.
