[Fluxus] type primitive anti-aliasing

[gabor papp]

hi,

i was trying to anti-alias a type primitive and encountered a strange
thing. i noticed that anti-aliasing didn't work, so i converted the type
primitive to a poly primitive, and enabled anti-aliasing. then suddenly
both primitives were anti-aliased. then i commented out the poly
primitive and rerun the script. the type primitive remain anti-aliased.
can anyone explain why this is happening?

thanks,
gabor


(clear)

(define t (build-type "Bitstream-Vera-Sans-Mono.ttf" "test"))

(with-primitive t
    (hint-none)
    (hint-wire)
    (hint-anti-alias)
    (translate #(0 -4 0)))

#;(define tp (type->poly t))

#;(with-primitive tp
    (hint-none)
    (hint-wire)
    (hint-anti-alias))
