That's an interesting observation.

Greg, which backend did you use to create the screen shot and if this
was cairo, which version of cairo are you using?
I am still not able to use cairo with my OpenSuse 11.3 and the ATI
graphics driver. Otherwise I could test this myself, sorry.

Text with GS + cairo looks fine to me - is this not just an artifact from the 
screenshot Gregory posted having been downscaled?

Interestingly, your screenshot doesn't have it around the text.  Which back end 
are you using?

There are severe haloing artefacts around all edges in that picture, not just 
text. There's also a very faint, blurred grid of about 30x30 px squares 
(typically an effect of buggy sampling code), but little to no noise. It looks 
more like a sharpening filter than JPEG artefacts.

Right, I actually viewed the header but I guessed it was converted
back from some pipe-line. I believe Eric & Jens are right though. Greg
seems to be too busy to clarify the point, we are glad you have life!

Re: Text Antialising bug [Re: GNOME Theme Improvements....]

2011-01-01 Thread Gregory Casamento
Never too busy.   This is what I thought it was a while back when
David and I first talked since the picture is not full sized.   I
deliberately reduced it's size for display on the blog.   Blogger.com
gives the option to scale the picture down and I used that.  I believe
that the rendering issues are artifacts from the scale-down process.

Could someone bring up the changes on their locale system to see if
this happens in a live application?

Thanks. GC
