Dear list,
I would like to use [text3d] texts on yellow background but the edge of the texts are so ugly that I am concerning to use prerendered images on alpha channel. Not even mentioning the inside part of the letters/numbers which are black anyway. Is there a way to achieve beautiful texts which are on transparent background?
Tried with alpha with all the numeric possibilities alpha offers (on 16 pd crashes) but without any success.
Please advice!
Best,
Popesz
I can't reproduce with the help of [text3d].
Have you tried using a TrueType font?

Hi Roman, I tried many fonts, truefonts behave the same way. Check the screenshot: [image: uglyfontwithalpha.png] I tried all the font sizes from 5 to 100 (20 is default) and play with the Z axe to make it smaller, the final effect is the same every time.
Does anyone have a best practice with the fonts on alpha on any background than black?
Best, Popesz

I see. The anti-aliasing is working, but it is calculated against black instead of the background color.
I'm no Gem expert at all, but maybe you want to share a small patch that illustrates the problem anyway. I don't get this result with black pixelated outlines with text3d-help.pd, even with a yellow background.

Hi Popesz, it seems there's something else in your patch that is causing this effect. As Roman said, a simple [text3d] patch works as expected, see the attached screenshot.
