It’s nice how / forms a neat edge on parts of the Disney logo. I imagine that effect must be sensitive to grid alignment. It would be helpful to have a live preview for choosing the most aesthetically pleasing alignment.

The answer to that is easy enough to find. I submit that a better question is why not .gno à la UTC.

Closing is one thing—at least you can still use the issue as a communal gathering point to make slow progress. The casual locking on the other hand is mystifying. And so often there’s the added gaslighting of a project that provides some

Yep, this is how I typically do it. I wonder how much concern over pixelation is actually mistaken due to the inability to observe this technique.

Surprising that someone can get in this deep and not know about subpixel rendering.

Largely what permits this clarity is that these maps are specialized to one application, in this case highway driving. The OpenStreetMap renderers similarly specialized to e.g. highway driving, public transport, cycling, hiking, etc. also h

Don’t wait for me to do it; you can steelman too: It’s plausible that the consequences of an actively wrong implementation would be more costly than this delay. Instead of just throwing costs at each other, you could acknowledge the other p
