Post #161,506 by pwhysall 6/24/04 4:54:10 PM Reply	And... ...Xft can change the pixel order: RGB, BGR; VRGB, VBGR. So that article's correct as far as Windows goes...

Post #161,527 by inthane-chan 6/24/04 5:37:28 PM Reply	ClearType can do BGR. I don't know why they did it this way, but Microsoft has this little web-based cleartype tuner which you can only find by driving on down to Microsoft's website. It's on [link\|http://www.microsoft.com/typography/ClearTypeInfo.mspx\|this] page. Of course, it can only do RGB and BGR, no other options. My bet is there's a reghack out there that will let you reconfigure it any which way you want. Tired of lying in the sunshine staying home to watch the rain. You are young and life is long and there is time to kill today. And then one day you find ten years have got behind you. No one told you when to run, you missed the starting gun.

Post #161,529 by SpiceWare 6/24/04 5:40:29 PM Reply	I've seen the vertical options in Linux but from what he's saying, the font's need help most in the horizontal direction. That makes sense to me, the tops & bottoms of all the letters I'm currently typing fall on the same line. If this makes sense then vertical sub-pixel rendering is not as useful. It might help with Asian character sets, if I recall correct some of those are written up/down.

Post #161,536 by SpiceWare 6/24/04 5:55:07 PM Reply	understood the point is when the RGB pixels are aligned perpendicular to the text's baseline then sub-pixel rendering is not as helpful.
