Do you have a plan for improving the font rendering to have sub-pixel aliasing on the web? I saw some thoughts on that in some github issues, but I was wondering if there was a general plan.



I don't have a plan for that right now. I'm not even sure a web page can know what the RGB pattern of the display is so it can do proper sub-pixel anti-aliasing.

I'm sort of hoping high-dpi screens will make this a moot point very soon :)


It's not what I wanted to read, but thanks for the honest answer! I realize creating a new toolkit is a huge endeavor, and I hope you'll some point reconsider :-)
