  I was playing with the subpixel distance thing, but I'm worried about
small text, where the same pixel is covered on two sides.  I'm not sure
about how to handle that case.  Thoughts?

  Can I see your algorithm? :)

  I did not know about it, I'll look around for it thanks.

  Also, is your OSD font renderer in the MPlayer sources?  Maybe we can
share some code...
