Underlining text rendering engine

Post by voidvector »

I have been writing an application that takes advantage of ImageMagick's text to image features (and almost exclusively those features). I understand it uses freetype to get text information. Does ImageMagick perform any kind of processing (anti-aliasing, tuning, etc) after receiving the data from freetype?
