Anti-aliased text on WinXP?

Anti-aliased text on WinXP?

[darren.austin]

Hey folks,

Is there a way to get Emacs (in my case 21.3.1) on WinXP to use
anti-aliased fonts?

Thanks,

Yes.  Actually it's what it uses by default for me.

You mean GNU/Linux?  No, unless you're using the experimental
Emacs-Xft branch.

    Is there a way to get Emacs (in my case 21.3.1) on WinXP to use
    anti-aliased fonts?

Works for me by doing nothing. Do you have smoothing turned on for WinXP
generally? If not, do so:

1. Right-click the desktop and pick Properties.
2. Click the Appearance tab.
3. Click the Effects... button.
4. Check the box "Use the following method to smooth edges..."
5. Pick a smoothing method in the pull-down list. I use ClearType.
6. Click OK.

HTH.

Weird, I do have ClearType turned on.  It certainly doesn't look
anti-aliased to me.  I don't think I have changed anything from the
default.  I notice that XEmacs does seem to have this problem.  Perhaps
this it is a different default font.  Is no one else seeing this
problem?

Thanks,
