TEXT.fontSmoothing

The fontSmoothing attribute specifies or retrieves a value indicating whether font smoothing is enabled.

Syntax

elementID.fontSmoothing

Possible Values

This attribute is a read/write Boolean.

Value Description
true Font smoothing is enabled.
false Default. Font smoothing is disabled.

Remarks

Font smoothing uses the anti-aliasing feature of the operating system. If font smoothing is enabled and the operating system supports anti-aliasing, the control attempts to anti-alias the text. Not all fonts support anti-aliasing.

Operating Systems that support anti-aliasing:

Warning:   Font smoothing over a transparent color may cause the transparent color to blend into the characters. It is not recommended that you use fontSmoothing if the text will display over a transparency.

Example
