This is the support for anti aliased StrikeFonts from Cuis. The new 'BitmapDejaVu' font of point size 9 is set as default. I only included size 9 (reg, italic, bold, bold italic) to avoid using too much space in the image. If people want, more sizes can be added. To do proper antialiasing / subpixel AA _without_ requiring new BitBlt modes, I use RGBMul BitBlt rule, and a second pass with RGBAdd rule. Text looks very good, in any combination of font and background colors, even at lower Display depths and / or glyphs depths. By default underscore and caret are shown as in standard ASCII. If you prefer the classic ST-80 left and up arrow, evaluate 'StrikeFont useLeftArrow'. To go back to the default, evaluate 'StrikeFont useUnderscore'. I also added 2 preferences #subPixelRenderFonts and #subPixelRenderColorFonts (both default to true). Andreas, thanks for all your help! Comments are welcome. Cheers, Juan Vuletich
