Anti-Alias Comparison

.. flex-grid::

    • .. figure:: /images/AmbrosiaFV-bm.png

      Bitmap display in font view.

    • .. figure:: /images/AmbrosiaFV.png

      Anti-Aliased (Greymap) display in font view.

At screen pixel sizes the rasterizer has trouble rendering some of the finer details, but with anti-alias turned on the results are much better. In the "H" below, the one on the left (bitmap) does not show the double horizontal bar of the H very well, while it is well rendered in the one on the right. The results are more extreme in the example above.

.. flex-grid:: :class: flex-center

  • :flex-widths: 0 0
