Re: [Freetype] Why 26.6 ?

[Laurent Lequenne]

Yes indeed... You're right ... So 26.6 it's definitely the best choice,
between the three options as the 26 part gives you a resolution of +/-
32.000.000x32.000.0000 pixels, this gives for a definition of 3600 pixels by
inch a resolution of 18641 inches... Nop ? I don't know how much cm is a
inch, but this makes some large paper format at high resolution. Something
that no machine can deal with :-)

Pixels are 2D so it is 6+6=12 > 8, so it is "real" 256 levels antialiasing.
