Silk Description

Enables the Quartz text rendering and smoothing introduced in Mac OS X 10.1.5 in all Carbon applications This means antialiased text in Netscape, Mozilla, and many others. Why wait for developers to update their Carbon applications when you can get the silky smooth text everywhere, right now? Powerful font substitution options accessible from the preference pane.Moreover, it can substitute one font with another in your applications, change the theme font (the font used to display menus, window titles, and other interface elements). Here are some key features of "Silk": · Substitutes fonts in the applications. · Changes the default theme font to any other font. · Enforces the minimum font size setting. · Enables the Quartz text rendering in all running Carbon applications, such as Netscape, Mozilla and many others. · Exclude list feature allows you to exclude certain applications so they work as before, if the antialiased text there looks bad. · Convenient drop button in the Silk preference pane to quickly detect if a particular application is Carbon or not. · Implemented as an easy-to-use preference pane. Limitations: · Will function for only 15 days after installation. What's New in This Release: · Silk now runs on Mac OS X 10.5. · Dropped Mac OS X 10.3 support. Silk now requires Mac OS X 10.4.11 or later. · No longer dynamically loads Objective-C. · Moved a lot of code to the awesomely awesome CoreText APIs (10.5 only). · Adjusted some code so it can be moved to CoreText in the future. · Attempted to make Cocoa applications respect the baseline of a font when a custom theme font is used. · Note: Classic is not supported in Mac OS X 10.5 and the fonts in the Classic fonts folder will not be loaded by Mac OS X. You may have to adjust your Silk settings to address any missing fonts.
