Weh.It doesn't really bother me. If I'm just doing a tag or something I write it myself. It's kind of cool up scaling CLEARTYPE'D text anyway.

Hum, clever.I tried drawing patterns of alternating 1-pixel wide lines, though, in cyan/red and blue/yellow (and magenta/green, just in case my subpixels aren't in the order RGB) and it didn't work, I wonder why not? Possibly because I have a CRT, but I can't see why that would matter. Maybe there are gaps between the pixels that screw it up. The results didn't even look grey, though. Maybe my monitor needs calibrating, too.
It should have produced alternating black and white lines. So much for the powers of reason, I hereby renounce them.
Edit: oh, duh. CRT screens presumably have their subpixels clumped together rather than in vertical bands, so the trick wouldn't work. Unless they are "aperture grille".
