The antialiasing linear vs. gamma debate is an interesting one - check out this conversation, wherein nobody could figure out a reasoned method other than "sometimes AA in sRGB looks good"... https://twitter.com/rygorous/status/512371399542202368 https://twitter.com/rygorous/status/512371399542202368
- vladdanilov 10y agoMy reply on Twitter in full: Text blending in linear space perceived as “too thin” and inconsistent because font weights are choosen for the sRGB [1]. With light fonts at small sizes, sRGB blending also has apparent weight changes with the background [2]. But with bold fonts, the weight is consistent only shapes are perfectly smooth with the linear blending [3]. And with more colors, the sRGB blending is a failure [4].
