Is there some API or technique that you're wanting implemented? Or is ClearType misconfigured on your machine?
Edit: the Control Panel has a Cleartype wizard that works like an optometrist exam: https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/80598-turn-off-cleartype-windows-10-a.html https://www.tenforums.com/tutorials/80598-turn-off-cleartype...
- runxel 6y agoI think he refers to the slightly "biggening" of fonts. Which is a great thing, btw! because it helps with all that nonsense-designers-bs of suuuuper thin fonts nobody can actually read.
- olah_1 6y agoThey're not "biggened". They're bolder and more blocky. Which from a design perspective appears louder, more brash, and not calm.
- WorldMaker 6y agoDirectWrite does have some improvements over GDI only ClearType. Although a lot of DirectWrite's real improvements people notice are interestingly in the other direction. (ClearType is designed to optimize sub-pixel rendering on LCDs when rendering fonts at small sizes; a bunch of DirectWrite improvements are in multi-pixel aliasing and smoothing when rendering higher font sizes on higher DPI devices.)
