Properly draw text using Graphics Path

Question

As you can see in the image below, the text on the picturebox is different from the one in the textbox. It is working alright if I use Graphics.DrawString() but

Seems you are providing wrong measure for font size in the first place and then adding extra thickness to the brush. Try this instead:

using (GraphicsPath path = new GraphicsPath())
{
    path.AddString(
        text,                         
        _fontStyle.FontFamily,      
        (int)_fontStyle.Style,      
        e.Graphics.DpiY * fontSize / 72f,       // em size
        new Point(0, 0),                       // location where to draw text
        string_format);          

    e.Graphics.SmoothingMode = SmoothingMode.AntiAlias;
    e.Graphics.CompositingQuality = CompositingQuality.HighQuality;
    e.Graphics.CompositingMode = CompositingMode.SourceOver;
    e.Graphics.DrawPath(new Pen(Color.Red), path);
}
