sub-pixel anti-aliasing
Authored by: sjonke on Sep 12, '02 11:58:37AM

As noted, the stray colors are due to this "great" feature called sub-pixel anti-aliasing which people have been clamoring for because "Windows already had it" (I guess).

You may have seen this long ago - Apple used something similar, but on a much larger pixel scale, on the Apple II which is why graphics always looked multicolor on that machine unless you carefully positioned pixels on the screen. Admittedly it's not nearly *that* bad in Jaguar (and Windows), but I still don't get it - it looks horrible and I don't notice any apparent improvement in resolution either.
