Font Anti-Aliasing not working?

Behrenbeck · Dec 12th 2006

I need Hi-Quality text output on display, so I turnd to turn on CE's built in anti aliasing for fonts.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\ClearType set to 1
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\GDI\fontsmoothing set to 1

But it does not seem to work, as the output still looks the same.

Hello,

i dont perform any registry modifications but i set the LOGFONT member "lfQuality" to "ANTIALIASED_QUALITY" and it works! So i suggest your font or the system font does not support anti aliasing or the setting you do are not correct / uncomplete.

I think the best and fastest way may be to create your own font handles, e.g. by:

Code

HFONT CreateFontHandle( )
{
//
LOGFONT lf;
lf.lfWidth = 0;
lf.lfEscapement = 0;
lf.lfOrientation = 0;
lf.lfItalic = FALSE;
lf.lfUnderline = FALSE;
lf.lfStrikeOut = FALSE;
lf.lfCharSet = DEFAULT_CHARSET;
lf.lfOutPrecision = OUT_DEFAULT_PRECIS;
lf.lfClipPrecision = CLIP_DEFAULT_PRECIS;
lf.lfQuality = ANTIALIASED_QUALITY;
lf.lfPitchAndFamily = FF_ROMAN;
//
_tcscpy(lf.lfFaceName,_T("arial")); //e.g. loaded by: AddFontResource()
lf.lfHeight = 20;
lf.lfWeight= FW_NORMAL;
return CreateFontIndirect( &lf );
}
