@nattokirai Hey, what happened to Subpixel Explorer? people.mozilla.org/~jdaggett… That was an incredible educational tool for explaining how subpixel anti-aliasing works :(

people.m.o was taken down in July 2017. Unsure if there is a backup... 😕

Nope :(

If I strip out the wayback machine stuff (not necessary), and change the mozImageSmoothingEnabled to imageSmoothingEnabled as Firefox's developer console suggests, then it works in Chrome on Linux (although Firefox on Linux doesn't seem to do subpixel-position drawing to canvas).

I would expect the pixel-level details of drawing text to canvas to be both browser-specific and platform-specific. So the tool will show different things on different browser/platform combinations, because they do different things.

hmm, where would be a good home for this? I have a backup copy.

Stick it in a GitHub repository and configure the repo to serve the master branch on github.io?

Any chance you could email me the backup copy? I have a lecture on Wednesday and I was hoping to use it to explain subpixel antialiasing to students (unless of course you plan to put it up by then!)
