In both the blog and the article above, the pictures are in PNG format, which I've found to have widely differing support in various browsers. So it could be that the PNG pictures look bad, or it could be that you just like the non-AA approach at that font size.
It could also be that your display size is such that anti-aliasing simply looks bad until the font sizes are quite large (see my reply to gfx, below, about DPI).
The main idea behind that comparison was more to show that we're getting similar quality in our native look & feel to the native rasterizers, which is something people have complained about for some time.
We pick up the desktop settings for AA now (in Mustang), but I don't know about the per-font-size disablement feature; I haven't heard of that being a desktop property that we could pick up. |
