WPF Text Clarity Doc

  • 아티클

I have posted a doc about: problems inherent to rendering small text, how WPF tackles these problems, and workarounds that can be employed to mitigate some rendering problems until these issues are resolved. You can find it on WindowsClient.net here, check it out.

    I'd love to see some actual data on how many people are running above 96dpi. I tried running at 120 (laptop screen is around 144), but too many things (even from Windows) don't render properly so I gave up. (Although, when it does work, it looks great.) Where's the money for OEMs to boost DPI? Meanwhile, years later, WPF still can't display text well -- even at 11pt, Word will correctly align text. And all we get from MS is a continual "oh yea, it's really important we'll fix it some day". (Search the MSDN forums, you can see this from years ago.) It just boggles my mind how MS can ignore* such a major issue. *Yes, I know it's not "ignored", but there's been zero support to customers since WPF came out. Now .NET 3.5 SP1 has come and gone, no updates...

    Please explain the situation to me with the snapping of font rendering when scrolling. Personally I find that much more disturbing to my eyes then general blurry text.

    (assuming that you are talking about scrolling text via a scroll bar or mouse wheel and not animated text moving across the screen) We thought that snapped text was more visually appealing than non snapped text. At the end of the day, this comes down to personal preference.

    I think Windows has the best font rendering among all modern OS and has been a major reason to not use any other OS. Just as the other commenteers I'm convinced this is a big problem of WPF. Now to my point: I recently got my hands on a copy of the PDC build of Windows7, and I'm mostly certain: something has changed. WPF apps seem to look much nicer and on the other hand, the font e.g. in the window title bars seem to be a little more "wpf-like". Is this pure imagination, or do you have some nice surprises for us WPF users in Win7?
