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

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. -- Jens Ayton ___ Gnustep-dev mailing list Gnustep-dev@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnustep-dev

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