I noticed something similar in IE9 and decided not to use it, am I missing something here?

I noticed something similar in IE9 and decided not to use it, am I missing something here? It's called DirectWrite, it's the new font rendering API Microsoft included with Windows 7.

How come I can't see this anywhere else in Windows 7? Is it a certain form of implementation of DW in specific applications that causes this? Maybe I'm overreacting but I would hate to see this being there in the final build! :unsure: Though, I take it that one can turn it off?

Applications have to be changed to use it, it isn't an automatic thing. You can disable it, but doing so involves disabling hardware acceleration (you can't have the old text rendering API while also using Direct2D, it's way to slow), which can be done in Preferences > Advanced then down the bottom on the first tab (then restart the browser) Edit: You can actually make DirectWrite render the text the same way as the old API, but doing so defeats the point of using DirectWrite in the first place.

+Thom Vee Subscriber² Posted September 24, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted September 24, 2010 Whoa, sorry for being off-topic, but what's up with the horrible font rendering?! I noticed something similar in IE9 and decided not to use it, am I missing something here? I'm running Vista, and when I installed IE9 Beta it installed an update along with it (KB2117917) which had the effect of making the font rendering ugly. After I uninstalled it, everything was back to the fuzzy fonts.

The_Decryptor Veteran Posted September 25, 2010 Veteran Share Posted September 25, 2010 I wouldn't have thought DX10 would make a large performance difference (since they're not relying on any low level stuff, they're just rendering simple quads + textures), but apparently it makes D2D interop much faster, and cuts startup time since it no longer has to load DX9 and DX10 (via D2D) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/896934-meet-firefox-401/page/100/#findComment-593191560 Share on other sites More sharing options...
