- Works with OCS/ECS/AGA graphics chipsets as well as with graphics cards under CyberGraphX or Picasso96 control (all AGA modes supported including HAM and A2024)
- Optional antialiased text on 16 and 24 bit screens.
- User configurable antialias settings separately for every font face.
- Luminance based antialiasing with RGB correction.
- Optional text transparency (adjusted in 256 steps) on 16 and 24 bit screens.
- Supports many 8-bit character encodings and 16/32-bit Unicode standard.
- Has efficient, system-wide glyph bitmap caching system.
- Allows for text pixmap extraction for further processing.
