Font Aliasing

[Laurent]

So you had to recompile the source?

Yes. Using the mono mode for glyphs cannot be done externally, even with an ugly hack.

if you mean that it will be added to SFML in the near future.

Don't wait for it. It's not validated, and even if it is, nobody knows when it's going to be implemented.

Alright.. by any chance can you tell me what you changed specifically, and maybe drop a link to where to a recompile guide...?

The compile part looks a bit complicated
I'll save it for when I get too tired of the current font-rendering.
Thanks

The compile part looks a bit complicated

In my personal experience as a newbie, it's actually slightly easier to build SFML myself than trying to use the pre-built libraries, especially on Mac/Linux where the dev environment is much harder to misconfigure.  Your mileage may vary.

Try it, and let us know if anything was actually complicated for you

I pulled myself together and did it, text looks great now
Hopefully it'll be added as an option at some point, otherwise people can look at this thread!

Feel free to open a discussion on the "Feature request" forum, with a link to this thread, so that the idea can be discussed with other members of the SFML team, and possibly added to the task list if it's validated.
