@slava dunno about text, but the nice thing about hidpi displays is you don’t need antialiasing for rendering. I always disable it in CAD, barely noticeable

@slava @joe When rendering PDF to PNG for posting, I use the -A0 https://mupdf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/tools/mutool-draw.html#:~:text=%2DA%20bits,aliasing%20to%20use option at higher resolution. Something one notice that some fonts need better old-school hinting, but the result is mostly crisper when viewed on a high-resolution display.
The paletted PNG ends up a lot smaller, lossless conversion to JPEG XL compress even more
