anti_alias shrinks plot letters

[Pila]

If I change Smartphone skin.conf anti_alias from 1 to 2, plots clean up nicely but all letters shrink to illegible size, as evidenced by attached plots. Why would anti_alias affect letters at all?

What is a solution? To change all plot letter sizes manually back to regular size experimenting what it is?

Plus, this illustrates my inability to change plot line colors. I have defined:

chart_line_colors = 0xff0000, 0x3333ff, 0x00cc00, 0xffc300

red, blue, green and yellow but my plots are ignoring me completely. Both order and colors are wrong. Where this cyan came from?

Thanks to gjr80, now I finally see in color :) So, this second part of my post is now solved. Answer was: I was using HTML color RGB codes and colors must be BGR.

The anti-alias scheme increases the image size, does the drawing, then shrinks it back down.

The font size will fail if the plotting routine is forced to use a default font, which does not have an ability to scale it.

Try specifying fonts that you know are available on your machine.

Thanks, you are absolutelly right! Now I can see it easily: skin.conf points to non-existing fonts. Yes, docs says what will happend in such case, but...

I added a font, entered it into the skin.conf and now anti_alias = 3 does perfect job of smoothing nervous DS18B20 IC digital temperature sensors and I can read everything nicely :).

Thanks again! Now it is easy to check various heating zones and check how my SmartHome heating is doing its job.
