Hi Tex, well... It may be my bad english but I think you didn't understood what I want or I don't understand what you told me.
First of all let me explain what I understand what anti-aliasing is: anti-aliasing = the ability to make jagged lines look smooth I dont like IM to use anti-aliased text because I used small font sizes and they get some kind of blurry. I prefer the old style with sharp edges. Also my subjective perception is that without anti-aliasing the maps are more responsive. In 5.3.9 I was able to disable (what a strange wordplay) the anti-aliasing in IM and that worked fine. And shortly after updating to 5.4 the font also displayed without any anti-aliasing until I changed something in the IM preferences. So I think IM is able to "ignore" the OS X anti-alliasing settings.Or am I wrong? It would be great to have the opportunity to select to old "not" anti-aliased stuff. Is this what you want me to file a bug on "forcing IM to alias text"? Is "alias text" the opposite of anti-aliasing? (Again my english ;-) ) Jürgen Am 09.03.2011 um 16:28 schrieb Tex Clayton: > > On Mar 9, 2011, at 4:48 AM, Jürgen Brändle wrote: > >> With changing Font Smoothing options under the Appearance pane in System >> Preferences I can't get IM to show text not anti-aliased. >> There must be some trick because directly after the update from 5.3.9 to 5.4 >> it worked until I tried to change some preferences in IM. > > > I cannot see a way to turn off antialiasing natively at all in OS X.
