Hi,
In the trunk of Emacs 24.3, I cannot seem to get anti-aliased font rendering. I've tried customizing, etc. but nothing seems to work. Is this a known problem and if so, is there a fix?
I've attached a screenshot of 24.3 and 24.3 side by side to illustrate what I am talking about.
Thanks
Sudhir

I assume you mean something else than "24.3 and 24.3"? There is no "trunk of 24.3", it is just the trunk or the emacs-24 branch or a released version. Not sure what versions you mean here.
Anyway, both your versions are antialiased as is plainly seen if you zoom in on a character so you see the individual pixels. I suspect one of them is not LCD-smoothed though. See bug 11484 (http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=11484).
If another workaround for that bug can be found, smoothing will be turned back on.
Closing, as this is not a bug.
Thanks,
Jan D.

Sorry for my poor reporting - it was trunk vs. 24.2

You're correct - I should have said LCD smoothing and not anti-aliasing. I read the description of 11484 and now understand why smoothing was turned off. However, now Emacs is quite unpleasant to the eyes and quite unusable on a Macbook IMHO. Perhaps the cure is worse than the disease?
Thanks

Hello.
The emacs-24 branch (and soon the trunk) has smoothing on again.
