Read Original

This technical article explores gamma correction in the context of font rendering. It explains how human vision's non-linearity and the gamma space of digital color representation affect anti-aliasing. The article details the problems of blending colors in non-linear space, leading to incorrect text edges, and demonstrates the correct method of converting to linear space for accurate calculations before output.
