I know this is a very subjective question but as text rendering in WPF

  • 0

I know this is a very subjective question but as text rendering in WPF is still an issue I have to make the best out of it.

In WPF Application text tend to become blurry that is no secret. Also there are countless website about this topic and how you get around this problem.
But I wonder … text blurriness seems to affect some fonts more that others. So I am still looking for the best font available to get around this issue.

So far I am still using Arial and it doesn’t look good. But I am sure some other font are more suitable for the task at hand.

    You could try with the fonts that have been optimized for ClearType. Typically their names will start with a ‘c’:

    Many, but not all, fonts that start with C and come installed with Windows Vista (Cambria, Calibri, Corbel, Candara, Consolas, etc…) have been designed to work well with WPF. In addition to these, fonts with robust outlines like Verdana, Georgia, etc… display well on computer screens.

    (quoted from Text Clarity in WPF).
