Hi there!
I’m studying RMagick graphics manipulation gem, and I need to put small
text about size 8 to 11 px on pictures. I found that text() method
prints quite blurred text. And I could not get clear text chosing
different values for methods font, font_family, font_style, font_weigth.
I attached a picture. In the left of it you can see what RMagick
generates for me and in the right you can see the example of clear text
I need RMagick to generate for me.

In my text drawing, I set stroke to transparent and fill to the
desired text color. Also, you could try turning off antialiasing. I
ended up using anti-aliasing, but rendering the text at double size
and scaling down for acceptable results.

Hi, Jim!
how can I turn off anti-aliasing?
I tried to call / not to call methods fill() and stroke().
result is different in all cases:
I tried to call / not to call methods fill() and stroke().
result is different in all cases:
gc.fill(‘black’) #results in:
#gc.fill(‘black’) # call is commented out
gc.stroke(‘black’) # results in:
gc.fill(‘black’)
gc.stroke(‘black’) # calling both results in:
Сomparing these three pictures you can see, that calling both methods
stroke() and fill() makes best picture, but I still need better.
Something like at attached picture (I used pixel editor to prepare
it)
And It seems to me that scaling down could not make accurate symbols.
The stroke_width setting won’t have any effect on the text. I also
never saw any variation from using the font_style or font_weight
settings. I’m not sure if turning off antialiasing has any effect on
text, since I now have that commented out in my code. I still turn
off antialiasing when drawing lines because I only draw rectangles.
On an angled line you might need it.
The font you choose may also have something to do with it. Run
convert -list font
at the command line to see the available fonts and families on your
system.

Hi, Jim!
It really works!! I just turned off antialiasing and got it!!!
Please take a look at the pictures. That is what I needed.
Thank you for your help!

One note more.
I’ve checked again and found that result defends on both callings @gc.stroke(‘transparent’).stroke_antialias(false) @gc.text_antialias = false
the best result (which I showed upper) produced by calling both methods.
