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.
