The subpixels on my screen aren't rgb (vbgr on this one) ordered, so the images with AA don't quite work right for me. Annoyingly, quite a few sites/applications make the assumption that everything is rgb, which causes crappy looking text on my portrait screens, and even worse on my monitor at home which is bgr ordered.
Also putting in a plug for my personal favorite font, Tamsyn ( http://www.fial.com/~scott/tamsyn-font/ http://www.fial.com/~scott/tamsyn-font/ ) Although firefox recently dropped support for bitmap fonts on linux, and my ttf version of it only looks good at one size, so I've been trying to find something to replace it in the browser.
- s9w 11y agoI've never had contact with different subpixel configurations. So I have no clue how to fix that. Any ideas? I will add Tamsyn, thanks for the suggestion!
- Tiksi 11y agoWell it wouldn't really be fixing it, but you could render the images with different ordering and allow people to select. I'm not sure if there's a way to detect it in browser. Setting the ordering depends on what os you're on. In linux you can set it either with fontconfig and/or in whatever DE you use. In windows I'm not aware of a way to specifically set the order, but it can be changed with cleartype tuner. Osx I have no clue if you even can. Example of bgr AA: http://paste.click/fXuAWF http://paste.click/fXuAWF It'll probably look wrong on your monitor, with red and blue fringing visible. Thats what rgb ordered images look like to me. I think it may be possible to specify AA with css, so that might be another avenue, but I'm not sure. I do like the idea of the site and appreciate all the effort.
