I’ve tried this a few times over the years, and it indeed improves font rendering quite a lot, especially where non-Latin characters are concerned (Windows has never rendered small Japanese text particularly well for example).
As other comments have alluded to though, it’s a hack and so it unfortunately doesn’t work everywhere and sometimes breaks things.
Font rendering might seem like a small thing, but it’s big enough of a thing for me that I have a hard time using Windows for dev work because of it, though programs that bring their own font rendering systems can sometimes be used as a workaround.
- NBJack 4y agoFascinating. This is rather insightful; it never dawned on me how bad Windows could be with non-Latin characters. Given it's Western-centric history it makes sense, but it does strike me as out of touch (literally) with the rest of the world.
