Rebol Mac - Fonts Question
« on: June 21, 2007, 09:42:12 AM »

Hi All

Is there a way to harness font smoothing (Quartz on the Mac) in Rebol applications. I notice most scripts bit map, which makes everything look very 1989? Sad

Is bit mapping a factor of the fonts used (non true-type), Rebol graphics engine or the platform?

Thanks

Chris

Hi,

I haven't tried REBOL on Mac, but currently REBOL supports bitmap fonts only, but you should wait for R3 with new gfx engine and it's going to use vectorial fonts with smoothing.

In fact, REBOL supports the vector fonts used in OSX just fine, but the rendering engine is very simple and produces crude and ugly looking results. Under Windows only, you can use DRAW to produce good looking fonts. This should be solved in REBOL 3.
