Re^3: anti aliasing fonts

Details on how a font gliph gets rendered come from the font and your font rendering libary. There is a trade off between readability and aesthetics. In general on windows fonts are rendered for readability, but on Apple computers they are rendered for aesthetics. There are also features of the font that guide how it is rendered such as scaffolding and hinting.

It sounds to me like you are on a windows computer and are not finding your screen beautiful enough. If you go to your local Apple store and give them $2000, they should be able to help you out. :-)

Seriously, this question has nothing to do with perl and is out of scope for Perl Monks.

i seriously doubt your claim that it has nothing to do with perl. With whatever searching i have done i was able to come across some perl modules that provide interfaces to freetype library. I was not able to get that module to work in my setup, which i am still trying to. Mean while i wanted to know whether perl has any built in modules or if anyone has tried out that using perl for any implementation which makes it relevant to perl and perlmonks. After all i was under the impression in perl community some one would have tried out something or the other which could be helpful to others. If you still maintain i quoted the question out of context forgive me because i am relatively new to perl programming.	[reply]
