FreeType hinting: any way to get a grayscale version for the subpixel rendering?
Is there a way to hint without having the subpixels rendered with the RGB artifacts? Just getting grayscale for the font? I ask because it is getting disturbing for me with larger fonts. I saw some monoHinting in FreeTypeSettings but there doesn't seem a way to set that up. TIA Phil
Try Setting -> Appeareance -> Use Free type ... -> Monitor type "CRT" 2015-09-10 12:51 GMT+02:00 phil@highoctane.be <phil@highoctane.be>:

No, already tried that, still hinting with RGB artefacts. Any command I can type in a workspace|playground in case the dropdown doesn't do anything? Phil On Thu, Sep 10, 2015 at 1:17 PM, Nicolai Hess <nicolaihess@web.de> wrote:

What platform ? (on windows, setting the montor type to CRT, this works) (and morphic or bloc?, because bloc uses Athens and athens does not care about this freetype setting)

FreeTypeSettings current subPixelAntiAliasing: false. FreeTypeCache current removeAll. World restoreMorphicDisplay
