I've tried to ask this before in various contexts and I've never been able to find an answer but maybe commenters on a post like this would know.
I like the way that the CJK fonts render without anti-aliasing on windows. I want to know why and how to cause windows to render a non-cjk font of my choosing in this aliased style. I am not opposed to hex-editing or otherwise modifying the font if that's necessary. I've never been able to find information bout the mechanism or how it's triggered.
- Permik 10mo agoJust disable ClearType and all your text will be uniform :)
- thot_experiment 10mo agoWell that's not what I want, I want to specifically prevent some passages in text from being rendered as anti-aliased for art reasons.
- bawolff 10mo agoAt some point, if you're doing it for art reasons, it makes the most sense to just render to an image.
- thot_experiment 10mo agoright, i can solve this okay by rendering an image and then putting transparent text over it in order to preserve editability, but it's such a pain in the ass, and i know windows is capable of doing it because it does do it, i'm not looking for a solution, i want to understand a facet of windows font rendering
