| WPF - awful blurry/fuzzy text rendering |

| I had this problem under .NET 3.0 and now .NET 3.5 (running on XP SP2). Here's one screenshot (from Orcas):  The strange thing is that the text slowly "refocusses". The text only goes blurry when it is moved (so I got that screenshot by scrolling the pane up and down, then hitting Print Screen). An even more obvious example is this one:  This is after clicking the button (so the text moves as the button is clicked). It takes a couple of seconds to return to normal (though the text is never as crisp as the same text under System.Windows.Forms - or indeed any text as normally rendered by ClearType, only under WPF). It's really messing with my eyes; quite painful to try and read with all this text blurring in and out. Any ideas? .................................................................................................................................................................

| Again, I failed to read the full post :( but with the red and greens are you sure it's not cleartype related ? have you tried disabling it to look see ? |

| I have ClearType enabled, yes. However, every other application displays crisp, clean text; only WPF applications display the mess I posted. If you look at the top screenshot, you'll notice that "Name: toolTray1" is reasonable (still fuzzier than normal ClearType text, though) but "HorizontalAlignment" is very fuzzy indeed. Other people have noted this, but I haven't seen any fixes (especially compare these two screenshots). .................................................................................................................................................................

| Could it be a case of WPF is doing some pre/post (probably post) anti-aliasing once the font has rendered ? it looks like some items do have something like that going off. e.Graphics smooth rendering type shinanigans maybe ? |

| The momentary blurriness after moving text may be this: After animating text, the text seems to pause for 1 second and then render more sharply than before. Why is that?. That post specifically mentions animating text, but I have a feeling it applies to your case as well. As for the increased bluriness compared to Winforms/GDI+/GDI, it's probably due to subpixel positioning of glyphs. It increases glyph positioning at the expense of uniformity between glyphs; now the same glyph may appear differently depending on its position. Actually, now that I think about it, the subpixel positioning sounds like a different problem, but it's one that annoys me and maybe others because glyphs all look different. |

Quote:As do I, mainly appearing on text that moves (scrolling, button being clicked and so on). Quote:That, too, sounds likely. I find the text significantly harder to read under WPF, which I assume is the opposite to what MS are trying to achieve.  .................................................................................................................................................................
