Where can I anti alias label text on a button? I can't seem to find the setting in the inspector.

Hi Jesse,

What makes you think that it isn't anti-aliased already? AFAIK all text in LiveCode is anti-aliased, unless you turned off anti-aliasing in the system preferences.

Best,

Mark

oops. i went to say where can i turn off anti alias. i need to turn it off so it looks more like regular text because its easier to read when
the text gets small. any ideas?

Hi,

Look in the system preferences. You really should leave this to the operating system and the user settings. If the user decides that text smaller than say 9 point needs not to be anti-aliased, then it is not your job to decide differently and turn off anti-aliasing for 8 point and lower. I do have a library that allows you to turn off anti-aliasing on Windows, but I've never used it. There is no such a property for individual objects, except for graphics.

Kind regards,

Mark

Thanks Mark. I'll reconsider my idea I suppose I just know I see text in ITuNES that is not anti aliased and it looks clear
and easy to read. Sometimes its better to have it like that i think. Larger text should be aliased but smaller text becomes
harder to make out.
