SubAntialiasing Fonts

In some places I got auxiliary smoothing, and in other places I did not. I use the "Display" display mode in combination with ClearType.

However, it is really random, it uses a shade of gray, not colorful. And it looks bad. How can I make him?

It works differently based on the operating system, I think. But the strange part is, in some places I have SubAA, and the other is not.

And when on different windows, in some places I have subAA as a whole. Do you have any idea why this inconsistency exists? I want SUBAA !!

thanks

There are certain situations where ClearType will be disabled in the rendering path, which means that it will then return to anti-aliasing using gray:

  • When you use AllowsTransparency="True" on Window

  • When ClearType is disabled in Windows settings (and you did not use TextOptions.TextRenderingMode = "ClearType" to force ClearType to be used)

  • ClearType text does not display correctly on a background that is not completely opaque, and you enter some transparency.

  • If text is passed to an intermediate target due to use:

    • the visual
    • DrawingBrush
    • Opacitymask
    • Viewport2DVisual3D
    • Effect
    • Bitmap effect

Are you TextOptions.TextFormattingMode="Display" top-level element, that is, a window? (the property is inherited, so if you put it there, it should apply to everything in your window).

You can use RenderOptions.ClearTypeHint="Enabled" to re-enable ClearType in the rendering path, but you may have artifacts because there is usually a reason to disable it.

You can use TextOptions.TextHintingMode="Fixed" when you have an animation, and you do not want to render text of lower quality (i.e. ClearType is disabled) when the animation is in effect.

You can use TextOptions.TextRenderingMode="ClearType" to force the use of ClearType, even then the Windows system settings did not enable it (in this case it will not be anything special for you, this is for reference).
