cleartype

So the new WPF 4 text rendering looks great, but enabling the aero glass effect on a window requires that you change the background to transparent, which of course disables ClearType rendering. Using the provided RenderOptions.ClearTypeHint=Enabled allows you to designate child elements to reenable ClearType rendering from that point in the tree. I've found a few other topics that talk about doing this for the ScrollViewer used internally inside RichTextBox and FlowDocumentScrollViewer, and creating a custom style does indeed fix it so that my FlowDocument gets ClearType rendering again.

Does WinRT provides an option to fall back to software ClearType font rendering (as Direct2D do via "Direct2D and GDI Interoperability") or we will be stuck with somewhat blurry hardware font anti-aliasing only? No. Windows on ARM will not support ClearType. This is by design. Instead, Windows on ARM tablets will be required to have a high DPI. http://www.istartedsomething.com/20120303/cleartype-takes-a-back-seat-for-windows-8-metro/ 来源： https://stackoverflow.com/questions/7487080/winrt-and-software-cleartype-font-rendering

This is how the .ttf font is rendered: I have created this vector-only TrueType font using FontForge. I want to use this font on applications which require vector-based glyphs, and do not support loading .ttf embedded bitmaps (which do not seem to have this problem) . On certain color-schemes this sub-pixel rendering that Windows does makes the font completely unreadable. This effect is present in most ttf fonts, but is much stronger on fonts with pixel-perfect edges like mine. Does anybody know any programmable hinting tricks or font-settings that will allow the font to render pixel-perfectly

On Windows it seems that when there's white text on any background and it does transitions, the text naturally turns to some shade of green during its opacity value being toggled back to 1. This makes sense. But does anyone know any sort of workaround to prevent it transitioning to a shade of green between the animating besides changing the color of the text from white to something else? I have a full demo here . Notes: It doesn't do it for me in Linux since there is no ClearType, it only happens when I enable ClearType on Windows. I specified cleartype:true cleartypeNoBg but as far as I know,

Hi I need to enable/disable Cleartype (or "Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows > Smooth edges of screen fonts") via cmd (or any script like VBS/JS) or from registry without log off or windows restart. May be it's possible enable ClearType only for one application Thanks The modern way of scripting under Windows is using PowerShell. The following script requires version 2.0, which is available from Windows XP SP3: #requires -version 2.0 param([bool]$enable) $signature = @' [DllImport("user32.dll")] public static extern bool SystemParametersInfo( uint uiAction, uint uiParam, uint

For IE7, it's possible to add filter: none; to the body css to disable cleartype on fonts through CSS. I don't like the fuzzy look it gives, and it isn't really consistent across browsers. IE; Firefox and IE6 show it differently. IE8 however, seems to ignore the css option, even when forcing the browser into IE7 compatibility mode using: <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" /> TL;DR: How do I disable clear-type fonts in IE8 through CSS? From what I recall, Internet Explorer 7+ disables ClearType when a filter is set on an element #target { -ms-filter:"progid:DXImageTransform

I just got VS 2010 beta 1, but the text in the text editor is thin, ie not anti aliased, smoothed or cleartyped. It's hard to read. Is there a setting to adjust it, similar to the one in the OS. This is a known issue with the beta. See the readme . Section 2.4.2.2 "Text may appear slighly blurry". They are working on a fix and recommend you stick with Consolas font for English, for now. This will be fixed in Beta 2 once WPF integrates with the DirectWrite code in the latest versions of DirectX. To workaround this, we decided to override the OS Setting and always for ClearType smoothing to be
