This assumes a naive and wrong way to do subpixel-AA. See my other comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30330936 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3

- d_tr 5y agoIs there any subpixel text rendering implementation that avoids color fringing to such a degree I cannot see it, or not? It's certainly there on both Windows and Linux.
- steerablesafe 5y agoI don't know if such rendering is commonplace, but I know for sure that imageworsener handles this correctly for downscaling images. Check out the option `-offsetrb 1/3`. https://entropymine.com/imageworsener/subpixel/ https://entropymine.com/imageworsener/subpixel/
- d_tr 5y agoI see there is some interesting stuff in the parent page as well, thanks :)
- wodenokoto 5y agoI don't know what you can and can't see, but I could not tell the difference between gray scaling a screenshot and not, on my mac back when they still used colored subpixel AA (unless I zoomed in on the screenshot).
- d_tr 5y agoYeah it is a subjective and configuration-dependent thing for sure.
