The death of hinting
On June 11, 2012, Apple unveiled its plans for a 2,880x1,800 pixel Retina Display for the new generation of MacBook Pro laptops. [In CNET's image, on the left, Retina Display, and on the right, the old MacBook Pro screen.] This begins to be in the region in which hinting of fonts becomes almost useless. One more generational leap, in a couple of years, and we will be entirely free of that major nuisance in our typographic backyard. Pop the champagne! |
