RC: Why are console windows limited to Lucida Console and raster fonts?

"The most common reason why a font ends up unsuitable for use in a console
window is that the font contains characters with negative A- or C-widths.
These A- and C-width values come from the ABC structure and represent
the amount of under- and overhang a character consumes."

cboard: Text in my controls is bold-ish.

"I.E. MSDN even mis-documents that it returns X font here, and Y font
there, and when testing it, I found it did not return the font I expected
in Win98 SE, so I asked around until I found a method that seemed to
work properly on all OSs."

Joel Spolsky: Font smoothing, anti-aliasing, and sub-pixel rendering

"Apple and Microsoft have always disagreed in how to display fonts
on computer displays. Today, both companies are using sub-pixel
rendering to coax sharper-looking fonts out of typical low resolution
screens. Where they differ is in philosophy."

Texts Rasterization Exposures, by Maxim Shemanarev

"An attempt to improve text rasterization algorithms using only publicly
available information"




"Look at it carefully, do you see something strange? Each line has a 1/10th
pixel shift, so that, in the run of 30 lines it gradually (gradually!) accumulates
3 extra pixels. I'm sure you know how it would look snapped to the horizontal
pixel grid, don't you?"
