Using WinXP and the processing 021 -

--
textAlign(CENTER);
text("4",width/2,height/2);
--

This may or may not produce a noticeable 'fuzzy' effect on the text
depending on the length. Does not occur with textAlign(CORNER), and occurs
with any font.

hm, i can't seem to reproduce this with the attached sketch. can you verify
that this remains a problem with processing 0123?

there's no such thing as textAlign(CORNER), for what it's worth.

attempt to reproduce the problem

this doesn't seem to show the problem (at least on rev 123 on macosx)

This should reproduce the problem

Thanks for your help, this should (hopefully) demonstrate the problem... Again,
I am using WINXP.

k, confirmed and updating the bug title to cover the actual issue.

the issue is probably something to do with character placement when
fractional values are used for the position, and will affect any images
drawn with P3D or OPENGL as well.

Hi,

If by fractional values you mean float values, then I don't know, I never
set my text positions that way. I haven't noticed this effect with images
as you suggested. If I use P3D instead of OPENGL the effect is that
instead of blurring, pixels are missing from places in the text so it is
unreadable. If I don't use P3D or OPENGL, then the text comes out
perfectly. Unfortunately, this isn't a viable option.

Cheers,
C
