We compare four different methods to calculate radiative transfer through a
magnetized stellar atmosphere, and apply them to the case of magnetic white
dwarfs. All methods are numerically stable enough to allow determination of the
magnetic field structure, but distinctions between faster, simplifying,
methods, and elaborate, but more CPU-time consuming, methods, can be made.
