I wish there was a way of using fractional scaling (on Linux) without making all monochrome images in the web browser look like crap because they're getting subtly scaled, even when you try to match the scale factor precisely.

(and I'm doing 125% fractional scaling, so it's not like it's a really *weird* number)

It's kind of sad when you're walking down memory lane on infinitemac.org, and it looks like blurry trash. :'(

@RL_Dane everything looks great until you start an X server.

@Eggfreckles

I'm actually running KDE/Wayland. I wish there was a way to make a single browser ignore the scaling for purposes like this.

@RL_Dane this never would have happened with Lynx.

@Eggfreckles

Lol, true, and I do love and often use my text-based browsers, but I don't think Classic-Mac-Emulation-via-sixel is happening any time soon ;)

@RL_Dane System 6 and nearest neighbor scaling never looked so good!

@Eggfreckles

Oof, nearest neighbor is hideous! XD

No scaling is what you need with monochrome

@RL_Dane unless it is divisible by two

@Eggfreckles

Yes. Always integer nearest neighbor scaling for monochrome. :D

Although... I always wanted to know what scaling algorithm the LaserWriter driver on classic macs had, because it always scaled up bitmapped fonts from 72dpi to 300dpi and made them look *amazing*
