i have switched to svn for my daily work now (don't miss good old

however, i *strongly* suggest that we revert this patch:
http://www.lyx.org/trac/changeset/17639
and get rid of the antialiasing in formulas for the following two
reasons:
1. the result is actually not nice, but rather fuzzy
2. the mixing of antialiased text with non-antialiased text is
really ugly
What are you talking about? This commit was about antialiasing of
lines polylines and arcs that are used in symbols like brackets or
sqrt. Nothing to do with text.
s\text\elements\g
my point is; it is ugly (the result is not very nice) and also
inconsistent:
when i enter ordinary parentheses they are not antialiased, when i
enter the scaleable ones, they are.
integrals are not antialiased, square roots are.
horizontal arrows: the stem is unantialiased, the arrow point is
antialiased.
etc
i am sorry, but it looks like a mess...
If you talk about ugliness maybe you should give some proof, pictures
could do that.
Edwin's done that, please read the full thread.
You are not the only one using LyX and math formulas all
day. And many people prefer the antialiased look over the old one a lot.
If you don't like antialiased fonts, that's telling a lot already. I
guess 99% of people on the world prefer proper antialiased fonts. If you
you turn them off, ok, your choice.
Well, he has the right to prefer ugly fonts ;-). But I agree that the
mixing is not good, it should be all antialiased or nothing.
But please stop bitching around here like a little child "This patch
must be reverted, better yesterday than today, because __I__ don't like
it". So come back to earth and improve the situation if you don't like
it. You are free to send a patch for the preferences dialog or whatever
logic.
Please calm down Stefan, there is nothing personal in Edwin's and
Enrico's request. As I said, I will solve this so stop the thread!
@newer posting of you: We now know _you_ don't like. Stop flaming the
list. Thanks!

P.S.: Some picture how it looks like. I don't know which kind of display
you use, but it does not look blurry here at. The old rendering looked
highly unprofessional for me. But of course that's my taste, other
people might have a different one.
Obviously :-)
