Is it possible in Xara Xtreme to selectively forbid certain objects to be anti-aliased? This could be rather useful in case one is trying to use pixel fonts. As well as for displaying edgy straight borders etc.

No, it's not possible. I wish it were. :)
Anything is possible with software -- especially, it seems, for Xara Ltd! I'd accept that it might not be possible with the current version of Xtreme, though :)Quote:

I have tried to find his original messages but I can't, nor can anyone contact him. His fonts were shareware but I don't know how to get in touch with him if you use them and wish to register them. I presume Gary has them linked from his shareware page:
This is a wild guess, but here goes:
Since Live Effects can be assigned to specific objects, I wonder if a
"NO ANTIALIAS" pluggin could be written?
I would image all it would have to do is create a live, "bitmap" shell of the object. If that object was text, then it would be displayed as a bitmap, at a resolution specified by the user, but it would be fully editable with the text tool.
**Perhaps someone at Xara could confirm if this is possible (Anthony)**.
If so, anywone with experience writing PlugIns want to give it a try?
I'm not good on the techy side. :) But a bitmap for text would be rather bulky.
Hi Anthony:
Since the primary issue with text is SMALL text antialiasing, then perhaps it wouldn't be too bulky?
