CoolType is a software technology, introduced by Adobe Systems in 2000, to increase the legibility of text on color liquid-crystal displays (LCDs) like laptop or thin-film transistor (TFT) LCD monitors, especially to make reading long text, like E-Books, easier. Although it is primarily for LCDs, the legibility on cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors is also improved. CoolType is also available in non-Adobe applications through the commercially licensed Adobe PDF Library.

  • CoolType è un software progettato da Adobe per aumentare la leggibilità di un testo su un display LCD a colori, soprattutto per rendere più facile la lettura di un testo lungo, come un eBook. Come ClearType di Microsoft e Quartz di Apple, CoolType utilizza una tecnica di elaborazione dei sottopixel dei singoli caratteri per ottenere un testo dai contorni ben definiti. CoolType permette agli editori di eBook e di contenuti digitali in generale di creare pagine leggibili come se fossero state stampate e agli utenti di poter leggere gli eBook senza stancare la vista.

  • CoolType ist eine Grafiktechnologie, genauer gesagt, ein Subpixel-Hinting-Verfahren von Adobe Inc., um die Lesbarkeit von Schriften auf Farb-LCDs wie Laptop- oder TFT-Monitoren zu erhöhen, insbesondere um das Lesen längerer Texte wie E-Books zu erleichtern. Aber auch auf Röhrenbildschirmen wird die Lesbarkeit verbessert. Die Technik basiert auf der Subpixel-Technik, bei der die drei Grundfarben Rot, Grün und Blau so angesteuert werden, dass die Auflösung bis auf das Dreifache erhöht wird und somit mehr an Schärfe gewonnen werden kann als die feinen Farbsäume sie herabsetzen. CoolType ist vergleichbar mit ClearType von Microsoft und Quartz von Apple. (de)
  • CoolType is a software technology, introduced by Adobe Systems in 2000, to increase the legibility of text on color liquid-crystal displays (LCDs) like laptop or thin-film transistor (TFT) LCD monitors, especially to make reading long text, like E-Books, easier. Although it is primarily for LCDs, the legibility on cathode ray tube (CRT) monitors is also improved. The main reason why Adobe built their own sub-pixel renderer is so they could display documents the same way across various operating systems: Windows, MacOS, Linux, etc. When it was launched, CoolType supported a wider range of fonts than Microsoft's ClearType, which was then limited to TrueType fonts, whereas Adobe's CoolType also supported PostScript fonts (and their OpenType equivalent as well). CoolType is also available in non-Adobe applications through the commercially licensed Adobe PDF Library. As with ClearType, Quartz and FreeType, CoolType uses subpixel rendering to effectively triple the usual horizontal resolution of the screen. This makes the text sharper, but the colors might be slightly incorrect at the edges. However, the human eye is better at detecting variations in intensity than in color, and these discrepancies are not usually noticeable. CoolType also obsoleted the Adobe Type Manager (ATM). Because the font selection menus that CoolType provides display fewer details than ATM, there were some initial problems in editing TeX PostScript output in Adobe applications that used CoolType.
