greetings,

i have run across an issue with TextMorphs and StringMorphs when they are using a font that performs antialiasing (e.g., ComicSansMS). When rotated, they are no longer antialiased.

although i have been doing this programmatically, it can be reproduced using a TextMorph from the supplies flap and then rotating it using the halos.

as a workaround, i have found that a embedding the TextMorph into another morph (e.g., RectangleMorph) alleviates the problem.

i did a little snooping around, but couldn't really make much progress on understanding why this happens (although i suspect it may be related to the TransformationMorph that gets inserted into the hierarchy above the morph when it is rotated).

is there a better approach to this?

(i'm working in 3.7/3.8)

thanks,

hal
