Pretty much yeah, but some of them I had to adjust. I think part of the problem is that the vertical lines become blurry at small font sizes, so maybe I can just go back and delete every other vertical line to make that shading sparserIts nice, but those off-pixel shade vertical lines really bother me. Are you snapping everything to grid?

Pixel hint? I’m using raster graphics, rather than vector graphics, if that makes a difference. Never knew what anti-aliasing was before this though, so thanks for the resource.Its the anti-aliaisng. If you want sharp lines you need to pixel hint.
Quality Loss When Scaling down SVG's
I'm having a hard time trying to find the best way to produce an SVG that maintains it's quality through scaling. The actual size of the image is the medium one which is pixel-perfect in Illustrator.graphicdesign.stackexchange.com
Yeah I may end up springing for the lifetime subscription and just writing off as a work expense. Right now the GIMP-to-Calligrapher pipeline seems to leave a lot to be desired.Yeah, pixel hinting is when you align all your straight lines to the pixel level grid. You should also look at font-hinting.
