iPodLinux font rendering vs. Rockbox font rendering
« on: March 26, 2009, 11:13:40 PM »

So iPodLinux has anti-aliased font imitation...
What's the difference between the way Rockbox and iPodLinux draw stuff on the screen?  Can iPodLinux anti-aliased font method be ported to Rockbox?
I am interested in making the port if Rockbox devs would kindly explain me the difference between the two.

Easy: they are completely different and have nothing in common.

There is a patch for anti-aliased fonts in the tracker.

Take a look at this theme to see how the text rendering looks like with the patch applied and of course an anti-aliased font.
