Does atsui not have a setting equivalent to freetype's "favor contrast" setting (I don't know the official name of this, it's something you get in the gnome font-settings dialog)? With freetype that setting yields extremely "crisp" results without actually turning off antialiasing: it essentially aligns all horizontal/vertical lines to pixel boundaries (and tries to make their width an integer multiple) but uses subtle anti-aliasing for rounded parts and diagonal lines; it's far superior to just turning off anti-aliasing altogether in freetype, and is my preferred setting when using a LCD. -Miles -- Suburbia: where they tear out the trees and then name streets after them.
