Aqua-Soft Forumsis there a place where I can get fonts that look fine without some sort of font smoothing technique? I'm trying to make a bitmap font, but the bitmaps need to be all black, and any type of font smoothing adds little grey sqaures around the type. I turned off my font smoothing and the font I was trying to make "Times" looked really crappy. I was just wondering if there is a place where I can get some fonts that look fine without anti-aliasing or the god awful cleartype..

you should see the difference between cleartype on a Mac and PC
Mac's win by far
Windows machines have RGB dots EVERYWHERE where as the Mac has a TRUE cleartype
yeah, but I still need to find some fonts that look fine without any smoothing. unicode fonts
I thought Unicode was a standard for text files between platforms, not a font type...
Unicode: A 16-bit character set that assigns unique character codes to characters in a wide range of languages. Unlike ASCII, which defines 128 distinct characters typically represented in 8 bits, there are as many as 65,536 distinct Unicode characters that represent the unique characters used in many languages.
