Font quality in labels

[jval]

Hello.
Fonts in axis labels are blurry in Lighting Chart in my pc (and in other pc when I tested too).
You can see this issue in screenshot below

I tried to change FontsQuality and AntiAliasLevel properties in LC and 3D->Textures quality property of my video card (Intel graphics).
And could not achieve good results.
How can I do fonts more crispy and less blurry?
P.S. I saw this topic http://arction.com/forum/viewtopic.php? ... lity#p1271 and one advice was "Use translucent shadow in background of the texts" . I don't clearly understand how to do it so could you give me more details for this?
Thank you.

Hi,

setting a correct font is important too. All fonts wont appear similarly crisp.

Many LC text objects have a Shadow property. Not all, and axis labels are one of those.


This a is a normal Arial font, FontsQuality = Low, No shadow. Crisp, but not anti-aliased.

This is Times New Roman font, FontsQuality = Mid, Shadow.

Code: Select all

 m_chart.ViewXY.XAxes[0].Title.Color = Color.Black;
            m_chart.ViewXY.XAxes[0].Title.Shadow.Style = TextShadowStyle.HighContrast;
            m_chart.ViewXY.XAxes[0].Title.Shadow.ContrastColor =Color.FromArgb(100, 128, 128, 128);
            m_chart.ViewXY.XAxes[0].Title.Font = new Font("Times", 14);
            m_chart.RenderOptions.FontsQuality = FontsRenderingQuality.Mid;

We'll do our best to improve font quality in rendering in the future.
