Field Detail

GRAY	back to summary
public static final FontSmoothingType GRAY Specifies the default gray scale smoothing, which is most suitable for graphics and animation uses.

LCD	back to summary
public static final FontSmoothingType LCD Specifies sub-pixel LCD text, which utilises characteristics of digital LCD display panels to achieve increased pixel resolution. This mode is generally appropriate where the important factor is legibility of static text, particularly at small sizes. A request for LCD text is a 'hint', since the implementation may need to ignore it under conditions such as compositing modes which do not support it. It follow that where LCD text is important that the application should avoid use of effects, transparency etc.
