Hi all,

When I render text into a CGBitmapContext that has been filled with a
solid color, sub-pixel font smoothing is not applied and text looks
suboptimal compared to text rendered elsewhere. How can I enable font
smoothing? Calling CGContextSetShouldSmoothFonts doesn't seem to help.

Are you talking about the red/blue edge antialiasing (based on pixels having RGB pixels not collocated on the device)?

I've also tried to get this working (so I can build an CGImageRef with embedded text for pixel-accurate blitting to the device via a CALayer). Sadly, I've not been able to figure out a way to tell the CGBitmapContext that I intend it to act like it is a particular device. If you find a way, I'd love to try it too =)
