    Available values:

    Name Description
    SystemDefault

    A glyph bitmap with system default rendering hint is used to draw each character. The text is drawn using font-smoothing settings the user has selected for the system.

    SingleBitPerPixelGridFit

    A glyph bitmap is used to draw each character. Hinting is used to improve character appearance on stems and curvatures.

    SingleBitPerPixel

    A glyph bitmap is used to draw each character. Hinting is not used.

    AntiAliasGridFit

    An antialiased glyph bitmap with hinting is used to draw each character. Much better quality due to antialiasing, but at a higher performance cost.

    AntiAlias

    An antialiased glyph bitmap without hinting is used to draw each character. Better quality due to antialiasing. Stem width differences may be noticeable because hinting is turned off.

    A glyph ClearType bitmap with hinting is used to draw each character. The highest quality setting. Used to take advantage of ClearType font features.
