chewie007 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I'm not sure which version this started happening in, but I was using 2.62 and just downloaded 2.63. Anyways, for some reason, some fonts do not show up as anti-aliased. Maybe they were that way the whole time, but I just noticed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 What fonts? Quote No. Way. I've just seen Bob. And... *poof!*—just like that—he disappears into the mist again. ~Helio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 I voted Yes because it's kinda true sometimes. We use GDI for font rendering in v2.6x. This has a "sharper" look than what you generally expect from an image editor. This usually looks great for UI, but not for pictures. Sometimes it looks like it isn't anti-aliased, although if you zoom in you can see that it is ... but just barely. At large sizes fonts tend to not be anti-aliased at all, which affected me when doing some Segoe UI text at size 1376 (I'm not joking here ). v3.0 will have the ability to use "smooth" or "sharp" text rendering, with the default being smooth. "Smooth" employs GDI+ for the rendering. It looks great, too.

Illnab1024 Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Why exactly 1376 pt? Yeah, I see this happen, also. You sure have a big to-do list for 3.0. I anticipate most the MDI. Quote ~~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick Brewster Posted June 6, 2006 Share Posted June 6, 2006 Because it had to go next to a 2048x2048 image. And "smooth vs. sharp" is already implemented Quote The Paint.NET Blog: https://blog.getpaint.net/ Donations are always appreciated! https://www.getpaint.net/donate.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chewie007 Posted June 7, 2006 Author Share Posted June 7, 2006 v3.0 will have the ability to use "smooth" or "sharp" text rendering, with the default being smooth. "Smooth" employs GDI+ for the rendering. It looks great, too. Wow! Thanks Rick! I'm eagerly awaiting v3.0, but I understand that it's a large undertaking. Thanks so much for your work on this project. I used to use an older version of Photoshop, but have switched completely over to Paint.NET. Now the only other photo editor I use is GIMP, and that's because it can edit animated GIFs. THanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
