Re: forcing text smoothing for static text controls

That is correct. There are another reasons for letting the user define the antialiasing for instance, in different scripts, the threshold needs adjustment due to the detail of the individual glyphs. Antialiasing for these scripts reduces the glyph images to a blob. That being said, sometimes developers do have real needs to manipulate the antialiasing and ATSUI will let you control this on a style run or layout basis using the style and layout attribute option bits (see ATSUnicodeTypes.h and ATSLayoutTypes.h headers). You can also pass these down to ATSUI at the TXN controls level via TXNSetTypeAttributes and TXNSetTXNObjectControls.

I have some static text controls that look bad when the "Turn off text
smoothing for font sizes X and smaller." setting in the Appearance (on
Panther) or General (on Jaguar) panel of System Preferences is set too

controls, regardless of the setting in System Preferences?


My advice would be that you shouldn't override the user's settings that
way.  Even if they look bad to you with the antialiasing off, they may
not look bad to someone who has a vision problem.
