You know what I meant by "infinite resolution". Today's monitors are nowhere close to retina (human eye resolution) and even further from being diffraction limited (the color frequency stuff you're talking about)
> If the monitors resolution and the font resolution were identical
Fonts are typically infinite resolution because they are small programs that you execute. Also see https://blog.mecheye.net/2012/12/bytecode/ https://blog.mecheye.net/2012/12/bytecode/
> The brain processes sound logarithmically. Is the same true for vision?
If you're talking about brightness, it's a cube-root curve: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightness#Relationship_to_value_and_relative_luminance https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightness#Relationship_to_valu...
> I watch movies at 24 frames per second, and yet, I'm usually incapable of perceiving this
Film projectors flash the same image multiple times because humans can easily notice 24fps. The lamp flickers and that's why movies are called "flicks". Good monitors flash each frame for only 1ms for the same reason: https://blurbusters.com/faq/motion-blur-reduction/ https://blurbusters.com/faq/motion-blur-reduction/
Try the UFO test: https://www.testufo.com/ https://www.testufo.com/. If you genuinely can't see the difference between 30/60/120 Hz, you should get an eye exam because that's not normal.

You can programmatically displace points on that outline but you are still limited in the types of outputs you can define due to this restriction and to the overall number of points per glyph the font system allows. They're pretty far from "infinite resolution" and the errors between screen space and font space are not particularly large and are probably not best understood through signal processing metaphors, was my point.
