I think Rev shows what the underlying OS supplies!

Klaus, the underlying OS provides the second- and Revolution the first line. The question is how could I adapt the appearance in the second line (antialiasing, spacing and kerning) without using images.

PS: I use the same font and font size.

Zooming in on the image you provided shows both are anti-aliased, but using different methods.

Richard, do you have an idea or suggestion how to get the appearance in the second line via Revolution?

Offhand, no. They use two very difference antialiasing schemes. If you look at the pixels in those glyphs, you'll find the method Rev uses is using monochrome colors while the OS X version is using the new multi-color antialiasing method.

You may want to submit a request for such an enhancement to the RQCC is this detail is important to you.
