Hi guys,
I want to move from GDI to something different, looking a bit more beautiful.
I need anti-aliasing both for text and graphics and also need it to be high performing, so hardware accelerated would be welcomed.
It doesn't need to be cross platform.
I have tested Direct2D, but drawing just part of the UI I draw with GDI is slower and I have less FPS with it.
OpenGL is also OK, but the text drawing there is just ugly :D
SFML is also good, but for some reason there is a problem with drawing fonts below 15 px and many of the text is 12-14 px.
I have seen AGG, but it is not hardware accelerated, although is it still faster then GDI+ and with more functions, but is discontinued since v2.5
I read Cairo Graphics is OK, but the performance is awful.
So any suggestions?
