Dear Michael-san.

Hello.

I carry out a test of adjust = 1.

I set FONT_DROID_SANS_MONO9x18 on /sys/arch/alpha/conf/GENERIC.

See:

I think that anti-aliased font drawing is wrong on Little-Endian Hardware.

Default(FONT_GALLANT12x22) font drawing is fine.

Of course Raptor GFX and Sparc64 is fine.
(FONT_DROID_SANS_MONO9x18)

I investigate pm2fb_putchar_aa.

OK.
I will give Raptor GFX(TVP4020) card to you.
Could you e-mail your address to me?(nullnilaki%gmail.com@localhost)

Sorry, I do not have PM2V card...
