Hi all,
a chap named Colourless has made some work on Glide (it's also open source), so that Voodoo5 (and 4) can run glide-games with FSAA without getting the text blurred. He has also modified the fs2.exe file to take advantage of this improved code. Both the new glide dll's and the modified fs2.exe can be found at Colourless's site  http://www.users.on.net/triforce/glidexp/

Copy the glide2.dll and glide3.dll to Windows\System and the fs2.exe to the Freespace2 directory (as always, backup the originals first just in case...)

Although the project is called GlideXP the dll's also work in Win9x, I use Win98se. According to Colourless this latest release is also faster than previous glide versions, so Voodoo3 owners might also wanna try it. http://pub43.ezboard.com/fx3dfxfrm1.showMessage?topicID=12483.topic

Here is an example with the new glide dll's (top), and below there is a pic with the normal blurred hud-text. The effect is off course much more evident during briefings when there is of text.

Got source?

[Fafner]

The zip with the fs2.exe inludes a cpp file that might be what youre asking for Inquisitor:

"The included source file GrGlide.cpp contains the modificatin at lines 1261, 1275 and 1314. The file goes in the Code\Graphics dir of the source." (quote from the readme)

As uncle Benny would say:

"Bloody marvelous".

That is, exactly, what I was looking for
