This page shows some samples of the URW Nimbus Sans L
font, showing the effect of:
- Making a few fixes to the font hints
- Using gamma corrected alpha compositing instead of
voltage linear alpha compositing
How good the gamma corrected versions probably depends a fair
bit on how well your monitor matches the idea gamma=2.2 sRGB
monitor.
