Ghostscript and FreeType rasterizer: screenshots
Under the horizontal line is reported the output produced by the
original Ghostscript filling algorithm. Above the horizontal line
figures the output of the FreeType monochrome scan-line converter
(namely "raster1") applied to the path resulting from Ghostscript
interpretation and hinting of Type1 fonts.
Text is scaled to 12pt, 14pt, 16pt, 18pt, 20pt, 24pt, and 32pt. All
screenshots are taken on a 75dpi monitor.
Times-Roman
I am currently investigating the drop-out which occurs in the "d" at
14pt: its origins are somewhat mysterious as raster1 performs drop-out
control. This has been fixed since gsft-0.0.2.
