It's amazing how little people know about subpixel rendering, even in the design profession. I suppose it's not really required knowledge, but it's interesting to know how text antialiasing really works. You can do a lot with LCDs.
- tx 19y agoYou got it wrong: LCDs, due to their incredible sharpness, created a need for antialiased fonts. Predating CRTs with their universal slight blurriness didn't need it, it was kind of "built into the hardware".
- dcurtis 19y agoHuh? You can't do subpixel rendering on a CRT, so it would have been impossible to implement before LCDs. Normal antialiasing has existed since long before LCDs.
