[Qt-interest] Windows XP Font anti-aliasing

[Jason H]

Qt will use anti-aliasing if the platform allows it.
That said, it has to be enabled in he Display properties. And there are two modes - ClearType should only be used on LCDs, which have a different RGB geometry. You don't know your display device capabilty.

I would assume that changing it in the registry would work after a reboot.  I always left it up to the user, but included doumentation for the user on how to set the setting. An application shouldn't be changing user preferences, it should be following them. If the user doesn't want ClearType, or the other one, then that is their decision.

Hmmm. Maybe I don't have the latest service pack or something, but I don't 
see that option. Any way of setting the option within Qt?
