I do love to learn why though. Whats a canvas implementation and how does having one make Open Office better?

And no, asciicanvas does not currently do antialiasing - but of course it applies dithering to get the most out of the 16 or so available colors ;-) Just click on the images for the ‘original’ content.

However, I cannot really judge whether the quality is good, because I have absolutely no idea what could be on the first picture. The second one looks like an Impress with slide-sorter on the left and a single slide that contains a "blue 8" circle (is it really one color only?) and a blue, well, something on the upper left, maybe a star. Would be nice to see the originals for comparison. Well, I know, on this device this is the original, but I suppose you know what I mean ;-) Btw., this device does have antialiasing. That's why you get different characters at the edges. If every pixel would just be represented by the same character, the pictures would look far more "pixelish". Pretty cool!
