I ended up going with a transparent PNG tile instead, which performed much better. (It’s a shame to lose the SVG flexibility of course.) 2026-06-23T12:46:22Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsdmulavhtlr4uwj37jgyc7lvxmajnmjthych5mqvj2u47hjgc62kczyr77myz4j0r002t5u3e7tevt7r7rvr4r4hsrpl0v4qhusyxcgsv35ezfr74 In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs04lk8u2729lvazwyqtd2zfcr5sqefeeesyp7wxw26sxev08m70hgmw7292'>nevent1q…7292</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Yeah it depends on the actual outlines in the font file. And it’s a more common artifact for variable fonts because variable fonts are built using a limited number of designs (e.g. imagine a thin design and a bold design) and then interpolating the points between them. To interpolate successfully often requires breaking up the outlines into discrete forms, like you see in the horizontal and vertical rectangles making up “FEE” in your screenshot, Baldur. 2026-06-05T17:48:59Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsgck38lsrp7hfdzvywswld9qvguudlna36dv7t6j5hvptac2vrvdqzyr77myz4j0r002t5u3e7tevt7r7rvr4r4hsrpl0v4qhusyxcgsv35s5zhyk Available now from a Node Package Market near you! 🌽<br/><br/><a href="https://delucis.github.io/sweetcorn/">https://delucis.github.io/sweetcorn/</a><br/><br/>Sweetcorn is a small Node.js library for dithering images using classic techniques.

Not super fun.<br/><br/>Was just chatting about this with someone else. The challenge is that `getImage()` and co. don’t directly load the images — they work with references and generate URLs. The actual image processing happens later in the build process OR for on-demand rendering in SSR happens when a server request comes in. Quite a pain for placeholders though which really need to be inlined. 2024-08-02T17:04:37Z https://njump.me/nevent1qqsry5afwe73qhwmfkkt3r2h62e8vmvnjhwaedauyc7jpffups6ctfczyr77myz4j0r002t5u3e7tevt7r7rvr4r4hsrpl0v4qhusyxcgsv35ht2ckl In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswuxfwh4s3xn5qachz0d4knu2qryzmgkkx84ww6k3y9ymmk9ujpdgd9g8nc'>nevent1q…g8nc</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Ah yeah, this is a bit tricky.
