[TYPO3-dev] pngBuilder Support for enhanced text-rendering

[Stefan Geith]

Hi Devs,

once again, I stumbled over the Output of gifBuilder:

I rendered black text on a transparent background
with nicetext and format=png.
And as always, the rendered image looks ugly, if not
put on white backround (or whatever backgroundcolor
was set in TS).

This is, because
- The png has no alpha-channel
- The text is not rendered with black + transparent
   black (this would give optimal output); it
   is rendered with black + grey (black faded to
   the background color)

So shouldn't we think about an enhanced PNG Creation
with gifBuilder or - maybe better - an new *pngBuilder* ?

Maybe it's too late for 4.4, but what about 4.5 ?

I think, Typo3 should have an up-to-date image renderer,
that has 32bit PNG-Support and renders Text _really_ nice...

So what do you Devs think about that ?
