Sub-pixel glyph positioning #88

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
I see that even though MacType can render glyphs without pixel-grid snapping, 
the position of the whole glyphs in a string is however always snapped to the 
pixel grid. In other words, all instances of "a" start at the same position 
with regard to pixel boundary, instead of some starting 1/3 or 2/3 of pixel 
shifted.

The result of missing sub-pixel glyph positioning is uneven, "jumpy" text, bad 
kerning.

Anyway, thank you for MacType! It has changed the way I see the world of 
computer text!
