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?
This can be opened by pressing the Windows key, typing “Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows” and hitting Enter. The minor graphics options are configurable in the “Visual Effects” tab. You can disable font smoothing by unticking “Smooth edges of screen fonts” and clicking “Apply”.
From the Start Screen, type Change Display Settings, and then click Settings. Tap or click Change Display Settings from the search results. From the Screen Resolution window, tap or click the drop-down list next to Resolution. Move the slider to the resolution that you want, and then tap or click Apply.
Try using ClearType, not Standard font smoothing.
It's in Display properties, Appearance, Effects.
In Windows 7:
Control Panel | Display | Adjust ClearType text
This starts a 4-step calibration process.
