Antialiased Screen fonts (comming soon)!

[Num3]

What i've done so far supports any type of font (it also has a color option), works great on small font sizes, but gets too pixelized on big fonts:





I draw white text on a black background image, and do one pass for edge detect colored antialias (3 tones) and white font to color font pixel swapping...

--- EDIT ---

The offtopic (for now) seems to be a more appropriate place for this thread...

Found the problem with white... I was using rgb(255,255,255) for the example above but if i reduce it a bit say to rgb (240,240,240) it looks really cool

Look:



I'll keep working on this, so i'll release it has a pbi file !

hi Num3!
atm i dont really understand what you mean with the edge detect for 3 tones but i am very interested in seeing your pbi file

some month ago, i worked on a routine for very smooth antialized fonts too and i managed to enable/disable it for nearly all kind of fonts! The only problem is, that it is a small hack until now by changing a value in the registry i found out... (tested and worked fine for win 2k/xp) ... but i didnt found any API call to change the value in the system, i am changing direct in the registry... (due fact i dont like my way, i havent publish it yet... maybe i will take a clother look to my routine and post my result soon...)
