Blind Comparison VS2008 vs. VS2010

  • 아티클

The text clarity improvements in WPF4 bring WPFs text rendering to near GDI compatibility. Below is another set of comparison shots between VS2008 (GDI) and VS2010 (WPF4). These were taken with the newly released VS2010. I have intentionally not marked which screenshot is from which version of VS. Test yourself and see if you can determine which is which. A key is below, but don’t cheat :-)

    Ha!  I got them all except the trick question.  I actually chose one because I didn't think you'd play a prank on me.  I wasn't sure on that one, tho.  Toin coss, really. WPF 4.0 RTM text is very distinctive to my eyes even with GDI approximations.  Not sure why, but it has been intolerable in the past and is much better now.

    I can see minor differences on a couple of those, but not all of them (and only in a side-by-side comparison).  Great work, guys.

    It seems the DrawingContext.DrawText still uses the old rendering... Here's an example : http://img26.imageshack.us/img26/3430/rhfjdjejdl.png (using a simple DrawingVisual)
