Found it by digging through the code:

In my paint manager impl I get the current LOGFONT, set its lfQuality member and apply that font.

    if(m_fontCaption.GetLogFont(&lf))
    {
      lf.lfQuality = NONANTIALIASED_QUALITY;
      SetCaptionFont(lf);
      SetTextFont(lf);
    }

Would be nice if the draw helper class could use some global state and not IsClearTypeTextQualitySupported to control this:

BOOL CXTPDrawHelpers::GetIconLogFont(LOGFONT* pLogFont)
{
ASSERT(pLogFont);
if (!pLogFont)
return FALSE;

::ZeroMemory(pLogFont, sizeof(LOGFONT));

if (::SystemParametersInfo(SPI_GETICONTITLELOGFONT, sizeof(LOGFONT), pLogFont, 0))
{
if (XTPSystemVersion()->IsClearTypeTextQualitySupported())
pLogFont->lfQuality = CLEARTYPE_QUALITY;

pLogFont->lfCharSet = XTPResourceManager()->GetFontCharset();

return TRUE;
}

return FALSE;
}

I would like to control font smoothing / anti-aliasing of the text in the toolkit controls.

Preferred would be that the system setting for font smoothing (Advanced System Settings > Performance Settings > "Smooth edged of screen fonts") would be used so that standard controls like window menus and Toolkit controls use the same way to display font.

How can I control text anti aliasing?
