Font Smoothing on System 7?

[LC_575]

Does anyone know of an extension or control panel that will smooth the screen fonts of system 7, much like the way Mac OS 8 smooths fonts?

font smoothing "system 7" finds SmoothType, which works with System 7.

Thanks a lot.

It's really nice looking, especially in subpixel rendering mode, but wow does it drag the system down even in 2-bit mode. I tried it in Classilla and font rendering looks just super, but it drags moving around on a page (and Classilla was never very fast at scrolling to start with).

Still, even on System 7, the look is wonderful.

I've tried sub-pixel rendering and didn't like it. For some reason I prefer OS 9's grayscale anti-aliasing, even over Ubuntu 10.04's. LCD is locked onto the signal properly too in all cases, with 1:1 pixel mapping.

Bit of a necro here, but I attempted to download this from the developer site and it turned out to be a corrupt file. I am downloading it on a Win7 machine onto a CF card then working sneaker net to my machine so that might be the cause of the problem... Does anyone have any input on that issue?

I was able to download and use successfully (emulation). Maybe a related issue I have: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=19238
