Change font-smoothing in VS 2010

Question

Is there any way to make font smoothing more MacOS like in Visual Studio 2010? I used to do that with GDI++ in VS 2008, but obviously that won't work in new Visual Studio. Is it possible to tweak WPF font-smoothing manually?

If anyone doesn't know about GDI++ you can get it here. It is highly configurable, but the basic settings make fonts look like they do on MacOS, which is much better when you have white text on dark background.

Answer 1

Here's a link on some options to try:

Turning off ClearType, Adjust font smoothing on OS level, change the environment font in VS. Consolas font was an option they recommended in beta.

Here's a blog post on improving WPF font clarity.

Answer 2

There's a Visual Studio extension called Text Sharp that lets you change the font smoothing settings.
