Today I'll show you how Silverlight 5 RC improves font rendering. The content of the article is good. Now I would like to share it with you. Friends who feel in need can understand it. I hope it will be helpful to you. Let's read it along with the editor's ideas.

Font rendering has been greatly optimized in the Silverlight 5 RC version, which now has a new class TextOptions with three dependency properties TextFormattingMode, TextHintingMode, and TextRenderingMode. The rendering mode of the font is defined.

1.TextFormattingMode

It has two formatting modes, which is to set the formatting of the font.

1.1 Display: it uses metrics to format fonts and symbols to make fonts appear clearer

1.2 Ideal: it's the old pattern, relatively less clear.

2.TextHintingMode

It has two fine-tuning modes, which is whether the rendering mode setting of the font is turned off.

2.1 Fixed: default mode, rendering mode

2.2 Animated: new mode, which turns off rendering mode

3.TextRenderingMode

It has four rendering modes, which is to set the font rendering type

3.1 Auto: automatic mode. ClearType is used by default, unless ClearType is disabled on this machine.

3.2 Aliased: no anti-aliasing mode, no anti-aliasing function

3. 3 Grayscale: use grayscale antialiasing to draw text

3.4 ClearType: smooth anti-aliasing drawing text

Let's take a look at the text processing in the Silverlight 5 RC version through an example. The Xaml code is as follows:

TextOptions.TextFormattingMode= "Display" TextOptions.TextHintingMode= Fixed "TextOptions.TextRenderingMode=" ClearType "/ > TextOptions.TextFormattingMode=" Display "TextOptions.TextHintingMode=" Animated "TextOptions.TextRenderingMode=" ClearType "/ > TextOptions.TextFormattingMode=" Display "TextOptions.TextHintingMode=" Fixed "TextOptions.TextRenderingMode=" Aliased "/ > TextOptions.TextFormattingMode=" Display "TextOptions.TextHintingMode=" Fixed "TextOptions.TextRenderingMode=" Grayscale "/ > TextOptions.TextFormattingMode=" Ideal "TextOptions.TextHintingMode=" Fixed "TextOptions.TextRenderingMode=" Cleartype "/ >

The CS code is as follows, and the text display effect is set through the background code.

PublicMainPage () {InitializeComponent (); / / background sets the text display effect of the tbText control TextOptions.SetTextFormattingMode (tbText, TextFormattingMode.Ideal); TextOptions.SetTextHintingMode (tbText, TextHintingMode.Fixed); TextOptions.SetTextRenderingMode (tbText, TextRenderingMode.Aliased);}

Finally, let's take a look at the results as follows. If you need the source code, please click SL5Text.zip to download.
