Antialiasing / "Cleartype" in Android

---

I notice that text looks a little rough on the Captivate and could use some antialiasing. Text looks smoother on my old iPod touch and that thing has a lower resolution!

Is anyone aware of a way to enable antialiasing in Android, global or otherwise?

dont hold your phone 3in from your face, go out to about 10in, problem solved..

I don see any aliased text, where are you seeing it?

The problem isn't really aliasing, it's the PenTile layout of the pixels.

Nice condescending reply. Maybe you should try getting some glasses.

Can't use Cleartype-style technology on an LED.

That said, I can't see any pixels at normal viewing distance either, text is not quite as sharp as on iPhone4, but every bit as sharp (and with better contrast and more uniform lighting) as the excellent LCD on my Milestone (Droid).

It's the pentile matrix; I noticed it right away too, but it doesn't bother me too much. Hopefully someone makes a sort of ClearType for Android app.

It only looks bad when you zoom out on text (really small text). Imo text looks great on this device otherwise.
