Howto Enable Font Antialiasing in Windows


I have downloaded a font that looks less than desirable if it is not anti-aliased. I can not figure out how to enable anti-aliasing in VS, I have changed the 'Smooth Edges of Screen Fonts' in the system performance options but that does not seem to help.

VS2008 on XP SP3.

What am I missing?


Solution

  • Try using ClearType, not Standard font smoothing.

    It's in Display properties, Appearance, Effects.
