This little poll is to see how you uses font antialising on your desktop.
I see a lot of screenshots with everything AA'd at all sizes
I don't AA for font sizes between > 8 and < 15. I have byte code interpreter (BCI) enabled in freetype so it looks good. I think no AA's fonts at common sizes are much more readable and cause less eye strain than when AA'd if the font is a quality font (like arial or verdana) |

All sizes. Though my AA'ed apps ain't complete yet. I'll start working on it again sometime, but not right now. C-time!

I'm using Gnome 2.2 and fontconfig etc (whateverthe new stuf fis in gnome 2.2).
One thing that's been annoying me is that ALL font sizes are AA'd which I dont like. How do you change that? Andwhat is the byte code you speak of?
Cheers,
Ryan |

I don't like AA'd fonts, they look crappy on (my 14"  ) monitor, I've disabled them everywhere, except in oo, where fonts are even worse without AA.
