ABSTRACT:
Methods, apparatus, including computer program products, and systems implement and use techniques for rendering glyphs. A plurality of glyphs to be rendered are received. For each glyph, an anti-aliasing procedure is selected to render the glyph. The anti-aliasing procedure is selected from a first anti-aliasing procedure and one or more alternative anti-aliasing procedures. The anti-aliasing procedure for each glyph is selected based on the glyph.
