0.5X

#

1X

#

2X

#

10X

#

oh yeah, that's much better

#

the thickness of the M differs a lot

#

hm, will need to look at each

#

Looks like the AA doesn't do what I hoped it would. I'd have to tinker

#

Anyway the performance takes a hit too, 2X pushes 4X pixels

0.5x: all three vertical strokes of the M in Mult seem like the same width with even spacing. however, the M in Common looks way off, and the N in Common is way too thin
1x: fixes a lot. interestingly, the two Ms in Common look different - left one seems uneven in the spacing of the "legs", right one looks even
2x and 10x look worse, actually, because the existing AA feels better than the "manual" AA

I have something that illustrates it better - just recording some footage to keep here for the future

#

I agree though

#

maybe take a look at font hinting too? that might???? help

steady dragon Jan 2, 2024, 4:39 AM

#

This is 1X, you can see the font changes width awkwardly as the canvas moves slightly side so side

#

agreed

steady dragon Jan 2, 2024, 4:41 AM

#

And this is 2X

unkempt briar Jan 2, 2024, 4:41 AM

#

there's no shimmering?????? that doesn't feel right

steady dragon Jan 2, 2024, 4:42 AM

#

Well now the normal AA filter has subpixels to choose from

unkempt briar Jan 2, 2024, 4:42 AM

#

I can definitely understand it for the UI elements, but not the font

steady dragon Jan 2, 2024, 4:42 AM

#

Like 2X looks worse to you in that video?

#

Honestly I like it when animations are a bit scuffed, but I don’t think that’s a common take lmao

unkempt briar Jan 2, 2024, 4:43 AM

#

2x looks better in motion for me

steady dragon Jan 2, 2024, 4:43 AM

#

Yeah for sure the same with me

burnt socket Jan 2, 2024, 4:43 AM

#

Objectively 2x looks better to me (but I like 1x a lot personally :)

steady dragon Jan 2, 2024, 4:44 AM

#

But I still think I prefer 1X overall, I think I could figure out the other issues with 2X with some tinkering

unkempt briar Jan 2, 2024, 4:44 AM

#

I think LÖVE has font hinting support, so try messing around with that at 1x?

#

my assumption (with no experience with this lmao) is that font rendering already has AA, so maybe it's hinting which is doing weird things

steady dragon Jan 2, 2024, 4:45 AM

#

Oh maybe yeah - sorry I was assuming I set it to nearest neighbour

#

for fonts

#

if I upres like this it'd have to be nearest neighbour for everything and then AA for the canvas

unkempt briar Jan 2, 2024, 4:45 AM

#

maybe that's also why
