[SOLVED]XAML Text quality

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   when we changed from CJ 16.3.1 to 17.2 we noticed that text rendered in XAML was poor quality.  I took a look at the code differences, but there were a lot of changes so not easy to directly compare.
However, we did fix the text quality issue by adding a line of code.  I've seen others post about this, so they can maybe patch their CJ or whatever.

in file XTPMarkupGdiPlusDeviceContext.cpp 

function void CXTPMarkupGdiPlusDeviceContext::Init(BOOL bReInit /*= FALSE*/)

I added

	m_pGdiPlus->GdipSetTextRenderingHint(GetGraphics(), TextRenderingHintClearTypeGridFit);

After the call to ApplySmoothingMode()

Cheers

Adrien

	Hello, I'm glad to inform you that the issue has already been fixed. The fix will be available in the next beta or final release. Please, see example MarkupPad.exe in it demonstrated how to use this option. Regards, Artem Gontarenko

	Hi, I'm currently patching v17.2 to be able to use it (can no longer wait for next version): is the fix for this issue to call m_pGdiPlus->GdipSetTextRenderingHint(GetGraphics(), TextRenderingHintClearTypeGridFit) ? For us it had an opposite effect causing bad quality text in other places. Also, I read from the documentation (https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms535817(v=vs.85).aspx?f=255&mspperror=-2147217396) that TextRenderingHintClearTypeGridFit is only supported on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003?

	Hi I see your point, however it seems to work for us on Windows 10, 8, 2k8 etc. We don't support XP, so didn't even test on that. You could try a different enum value.
