In windows 2000 (maybe other OS too), the Windows Font Smoothing option causes text in a picture window to be smoothed. This is a problem, because to smooth the font, windows adds extra colors/pixels to it.
This undermines the usefulness of $getdot, /drawreplace, /drawfill, and $width.
for example (with font smoothing turned on):
alias test {
window -podC @test
drawtext -r @test $rgb(255,0,0) "Arial" -19 10 10 Test Test Test
drawreplace -r @test $rgb(255,0,0) $color($color(background))
}
Also, while were on /drawtext:
"The -p switch processes and interprets color/bold/etc. codes in the text."
There is an old problem with the this. It draws a filled rectangle behind the text. The color of the rectangle is $color(background) and this is a problem if you want to place text over an image, or a different colored background.
