Re: non-antialiased font configuration

[Ed Fardos]

Thanks Werner,  the images were embedded/smime, but they're attached to this 
email.

I posted the comparison here if it's easier,

          https://craiger.org/craiger/freetype-comparison.png

Fonts are antialiased in ftview, is there a way to have ftview render fonts 
without antialiasing?

Please see the attached image and send me on my way if this isn't a freetype 
thing.  I'm
still looking at DPI,  Do non-antialised fonts prefer a DPI, is it the 
fractional scaling that
causes the pixelation perhaps?

thanks!
