 @chrisphin unfortunately, display profiles kind of ruin the effect (explainer: the image is being interpreted as sRGB, and since my display has a wider gamut than sRGB, and the rendering stack is built around the assumption that each pixel represents an atomic color sample, the "pure" red, green, and blue pixels encoded in the file are having some of the other primaries mixed in to bring them closer to the sRGB primaries, resulting in some subpixels getting activated when they aren't meant to) 6 comments
@chrisphin for reference: same camera settings, same display, but viewing the image in an application that does not interpret it as sRGB (instead interpreting it in the display's native color space)  @sjolsen Looks great! And yes, anything that messes with the colours will skew the effect of course. Thanks for the empiricism!  @chrisphin @sjolsen also, any amount of scaling with the font will break it. i'm sure that one is pretty obvious, though @chrisphin @sjolsen oh! and some displays, the red/green/blue isn't oriented in the "stoplight" fashion as shown in these images - other common configurations include a "triangle" pattern, or a "square" pattern with an extra green pixel element. the font won't work with those, obviously |

@sjolsen Fascinating!
