ideally they will upgrade their software so that it renders true svg card images (or at least improved anti-alias) instead of the poorly rasterized images it currently generates

the 7 file png solution seems like a no brainer until they get it worked out, though

have you ever tried emailing them? obv you have a bit more knowledge about svgs, so it wouldnt be a bad idea.

they assured me that they are aware of the customers' low satisfaction with the card rendering and that they are pursuing multiple options to improve

ftp dougs statement for future updates:

1. The [small] cards suck!

- The main usability complaint I've seen about the new small cards is that it's very hard to tell the suits apart without using Four Color cards, which some people hate doing. So we're working on an improvement to these small cards that will include a large suit, it should be available in one of the next few updates.
why dont you get it? its not about a big number/letter or a big suit. its because the software renders the images very bad. fix it finally or switch back to pngs

1 more bump for futility.

*edit: Quick - that avatar looks terrible on the slick theme here that has dark grey background.

All of my 549 550 avatars I have ever used here were either PNG for stills, or GIF for animated. You have to upload avatars now, you cant link to them.

Maybe they don't let you upload PNGs with such a small post count.

Check in ATF or ask a mod if he can try to change it for you.

3. i want normal looking cards in all table sizes (not this jaggy ****). i know there are other more importan issues, but you said your ppl are working on it and last 2 updates you didnt even mention it!

- I believe I said people were working on a slightly improved version of the small cards to include a nice big suit so you could see the suit at a glance without using a 4 color deck. Nobody is currently working on improving the current "normal" deck, sorry.

sad part is, this entire issue is probably related to a single setting in the FTP code that determines what level of raster to apply to resized images
