Apple has switched to the 2.2 Gamma.  Don&#39;t know when though, probably the 10.5 or 10.6 era.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Feb 26, 2010 at 9:01 AM, matt <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:maht-9fans@maht0x0r.net">maht-9fans@maht0x0r.net</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>

i don&#39;t know.  it&#39;s not libfreetype.  fontsrv asks the OS X<br>
graphics code to render each glyph into a box and then<br>
concatenates the boxes to make the subfont.<br>
all the text was noticeably lighter (more grey)<br>
than in your screen shot when i put them side by side.<br>

<br>
this is due to apple&#39;s algorithm for rendering glyphs.<br>

I don&#39;t know if it is relevant but OSX uses a 1.8 Gamma whereas PC&#39;s (&amp; TVs) use 2.2<br>
