   | The "Scale2x" function used for antialias is an own recoded     |       |
   | implementation by Yannick Erb and does not use the original     |       |
   | GPL'ed code. You may want to check this page for more infor-    |       |

   | Please kindly note "scale2x", "bilinear antialias" and "scan-   |       |
   | lines", once activated, will intense CPU usage and might lead   |       |
   | to slowdowns and higher energy consumption, which therefore     |       |
   | will decrease battery life on portable devices. Availability    |       |
