anti-aliased fonts.

I went through the install of freetype:

Didn't have any problems. But I'm on a Mac. I also installed the Project Zurgle stuff:

Mine looks pretty now. :)

hi all..

anyway..

i was wondering if there was any way to make the fonts look a little nicer in squeak..

i know it's kind of a gripe.. but it would be cool if i could get them to look pretty...

Well, with the whole system being open source, there is definitely a way, but it probably isn't an easy way.

You can load new fonts using the file list. You can change the fonts used using "appearance" -> "system fonts...".

However, as to using nice sub-pixel antialiased fonts on LCD screens, I personally haven't managed to get this going (not that I've tried hard). I find the default fonts readable enough, so it's never been an issue for me.

Anybody else? Is there a way to get sub-pixel antialiasing working?

Gulik.
