[Typo3] Everybody's blind ?

[Ries van Twisk]

jacob,

this was about using gifbuilder to render fonts... then bitmapped fonts 
can be quite usefull.... and scaling is a other issue there...
When using 'real' textx then ofcourse it's nowdays better to use vector 
fonts since the hinting is quito good now days, even foor TTF fonts..


cheers,
Ries
