Problem

Symptoms: What is Anti-aliasing? Solutions: Anti-aliasing is a complex term for smoothing jagged edges by blending two neighboring areas of color along their shared border. Anti-aliasing is a technique developed by MIT in which shades of gray are added to the edges of screen fonts to increase the perceived resolution. This eliminates the jagged edges of the screen fonts making them more visible on screen. Screen fonts such as ATI's Crystal fonts use 16 shades of gray to increase the perceived screen resolution to almost 300 dpi. The result is laser quality screen fonts on a conventional 1024x768 screen. This effect will make smaller fonts easier to read.
