How are fonts rendered in in GPU-accelerated 2D (as opposed to in 3D).
Also, would a custom UI like the Letterpress game (which as I understand it used a custom OpenGL UI), use a similar technique to this? I'm unclear how subpixel rendering works in the 3D context.
- IshKebab 9y agoModern accelerated 2D graphics is exactly the same as 3D but with an orthographic projection always looking in the same direction.
- pjmlp 9y agoAs additional note, the type of old style plain 2D hardware acceleration (GDI, Xlib, ...) is gone for several years now.
