text difficulty

argh... i'm having problems with using text. i don't know what the problem is; i've used text before with no problems. here's a screenshot, in case it's only my computer that's having the problem: http://users.bigpond.net.au/schwartz/screen-0005.tif
and here's the code i used. not that it isn't an interesting affect on the text...
Code:
void setup() {
size(200,200);
background(150);
fontA = loadFont("Bodoni-Bold.vlw.gz");
setFont(fontA,150);
stroke(0);
fill(0);
}
BFont fontA;
void loop() {
translate(width/2,height/2);
fill(250);
text('H',0,0);
}

put this statement in your setup:
hint(SMOOTH_IMAGES);
this won't always be necessary, but it is currently.

characters in the current fonts are 64x64 pixel images that get smushed into the proper size through a series of image() calls. by default, image smoothing (think of 'bilinear' or 'bicubic' smoothing in photoshop) is shut off, because it's slow, so 'nearest neighbor' is used. this results in the lousy appearance/interesting effect for the fonts.
the next rev (52) has a bunch of work on the drawing engine for smoothing images (even anti-aliasing edges of shapes) and things will be smoothed by default, and the hint() call will no longer be needed.
