I've noticed that on retina displays, drawtext in windows can look somewhat pixelated compared to Gadget text despite playing around with different draw modes.

1) is that a known issue due to the underlying way Drawtext is implemented due to PB's cross platform nature?
2) is there a way (hack using a cocoa call or other technique) to improve the quality?

Thank you

Try DrawVectorText() because it uses antialiasing, not DrawText().

That makes sense but also requires the Canvas gadget. What if I don't want to use the Canvas gadget?

There is also a WindowVectorOutput() for vector drawing on a window.

I'll give that a try. Thanks
