Re: font anti-aliasing or smoothing

[john synergy caltech edu]

you actually dont even need to use your own fonts. have X render them at 4x the
size you want into some buffer then resample them down to normal size and copy
them back to the xserver in an offscreen pixmap. then blit them directly from
the pixmap for use in programs. of course the disadvantage is that they have to
be antialiased against a certain background color and may only be used with that
but it is better than nothing and can make a big improvement for something like
abiword where you need readable black on white text.
