"Pixel Perfect" - awesome! The google logo looks particularly 'pixel perfect.'

Seems like some "sub-pixel" texturing could be done by drawing different characters a la ascii art. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AAlib

I hadn’t known about AAlib, that’s quite cool. Unfortunately it seems only to do greyscale output, whereas the selling point of this is that it’s in colour.

I made a pull request to picture-tube to support this, in a limited way[1]. If that gets merged, hit-that can be updated to take advantage of it.
