Talk:Font rasterization

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The image "Rasterization with subpixel rendering for an RGB flat panel display" should show the actual RGB pixels (since it's zoomed in and can be done) to better show people the effect. -- I suggest removing the commercials, along with their annoying trademark and registered signs.

Subpixel rendering does not necessarily mean that hinting is used. Rather, this depends on the implementation. I think this should be made clear by showing the samples both with and without hinting.

I changed the page to only show hinted anti-aliased text since the other two samples are hinted. The old image is still on Wikipedia, though: [[Image:Rasterization-antialiasing-without-hinting.png]] --Crashie 16:07, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

There is no info about anti-alias in Linux, since it support as well both anti-alias and subpixel rendering.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Rasterization-simple.png

Image:Rasterization-simple.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
