Actually, although a 16-level gray scale is great for anti-aliasing scenes, characters are close enough to the screen resolution that you'd probably want to average 16 by 16 pixel areas (thus using a 256-level gray scale). For some time now I've been thinking about doing some actual empirical tests and actually building some anti-aliased fonts. I just seem to have misplaced the free time in which do so :-)... -- Amanda Walker InterCon Systems Corporation -- amanda@intercon.uu.net | ...!uunet!intercon!amanda
