How to fix blurry font in Visual Studio 2010?

I recently started working in VS2010 and immediately noticed that the Consolas font that I use does not appear, as in VS2008. At first I thought that my settings were not imported, but I checked, and Consolas was the default text!

This is a very minor detail that is known to Mac users, but on the left is a slightly blurry rendering of the VS2010 font, and on the right is the rendering of VS2008. It really stands out on the feet of the letter "m" and any letter with a small interval.

Does anyone know how to fix it? What can I do in rendering Windows7 fonts?

Ok, I found a solution. I had to run the ClearType wizard again. The font is stronger, bolder, the colors are all the same. Blues and greens are much easier with GDI. comparison screenshot after the ClearType change

Looks like differences in ClearType settings. Both screenshots from one PC?

Edit: If Visual Studio 2010 really uses WPF internally, the ClearType mechanism is different and can produce subtly different results. However, it responds to the ClearType tuner system settings. This article details the article:
