Any chance it'll use subpixel smoothing one day? Grayscale smoothing makes me want to tear my eyes out. It's the main thing that prevents me from ever switching

- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoI see comments like this sometimes and wonder if people are born with super eyes or something and I missed out. I only notice the difference between the various HD standards and standard def if they're put right next to each other, don't even bother owning a monitor with >1920x1080, etc.
- dataflow 5y agoI promise you it's just as baffling to me that some people don't notice it! It seems clear as day to me and I don't even have great eyesight. Maybe it's something like font kerning where it's hard to notice but also hard to un-notice? Here's an example, can you not see the difference in sharpness clearly? - Sumatra (grayscale): https://i.imgur.com/wOP8hdX.png https://i.imgur.com/wOP8hdX.png - Acrobat (subpixel): https://i.imgur.com/YXRy1WJ.png https://i.imgur.com/YXRy1WJ.png (NOTE: Make sure you're viewing just the unscaled image by itself. You can download each and view it in a 1:1 pixel viewer to sure your browser isn't scaling it. Or run document.body.style.zoom = 1 / window.devicePixelRatio in Chrome.)
- AnIdiotOnTheNet 5y agoIf I flip between them I can see a difference, yes, but it doesn't exactly make my eyes bleed. Opened up a random PDF in Sumatra without something to compare it to and, now having seen it, still nothing jumps out. Then again, I grew up with bitmapped fonts in 320x200 on a CRT.
