[comp.sys.next] Anti Aliasing

new@ee.udel.edu (Darren New) (03/05/91)

Under what conditions (if any) does Display PostScript (in general or
on the NeXT) do anti-aliasing?  Only for text? For lines?  On monochrome?
In color?  Just curious...        -- Darren

Under no circumstances does DPS do anti-aliasing, unless something has
changed very dramatically since the last time I knew what was going on
(I can never rule out that possibility, nor the possibility that the last
time that I knew what was going on was fifteen years ago :-)

Anyway, I don't think DPS does any anti-aliasing at all, on any platform...

Thanks.  You're still right :-)   I got a mail reply from somebody at NeXT
(about 5 minutes after I posted, yow!) saying that indeed DPS does no
anti-aliasing.          Thanks for all the replies!        -- Darren
