Hello,

Please open Publisher and create a text box and type the letter "T" in it
and set it to Lucida Console font.

Then select the text box and copy it (by using the edit/copy menu in
Publisher). Now open MS Paint and post it in MS PAINT.

Now, View it at 800% (by using the View/zoom/custom menu in MS Paint).

Why do we see most of the pixels that form the letter "T" in black (which is
normal) and also see some added pixels of faint colors in and around the
letter "T"?

Can anyone tell me as to why it does this, and what is this phenomenon called?

Best regards
Robert

So then what is the difference between RGBA and antialiasing?

(In Windows, it's ClearType; in general it's called subpixel rendering.
Due to the way LCDs are designed, it can look clearer than simple
antialiasing at the default zoom level.)
