What do you mean by the "artifact"? What I see is the color fringe in some 
characters
when the fade-out and fade-in happens (especially the "LATEST:"). The color 
fringe
disappears when the next news starts drawing. However, even if I disable gdipp,
ClearType also causes some color fringe. The problem is one of the few negative
results of sub-pixel rendering (both gdipp and ClearType uses this mechanism). 
If you
experience color fringe in other applications, please report and try setting
light_mode = 0 or subpixel_render = 0. More reference can be found at
http://freetype.sourceforge.net/freetype2/docs/reference/ft2-lcd_filtering.html#
FT_LcdFilter
and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subpixel_rendering.
