Theattached image contains a side-by-side image of a WordPad file with text representing all letters in the alphabet, lower- and upper-case. The image on the left was taken from a Windows 10 virtual machine (the "guest" OS)running on a Windows 10 host (the "host" OS); the image on the right was taken from the Windows host:
Enlarge the image and take a good look at the differences around the edges of each letter: The left is much smoother than the right--and in case you are tempted to jump to a quick conclusion, CLEARTYPE IS NOT THE ISSUE (see points below), at least not from an "on" versus "off" perspective (in other words, a registry setting related to ClearType might be involved, but nothing on the Windows UI related to ClearType is causing this because both machines are calibrated for ClearType and ClearType is ON on both host and guest machines).
ClearType is active (on) on both the Windows host as well as in the virtual machine. I've tried various combinations of ClearType (turning it off on the host and turning it off on the guest, and all other combinations) and there is no change to the rough-edge artifact displayed on the host compared to the guest.
I am not aware of any DPI differences between the guest and host.Other fonts, such as the Windows-included Arial font, show similar rough-edge issues only on the host--I just chose Myriad Pro to illustrate the problem.
And, for what it's worth, it doesn't matter if I view the host from another computer through a remote-desktop session (RDP) or using something like TeamViewer; also, the behavior of the guest doesn't change when I use RDP or TeamViewer.
Clearly something is awry with the font-rendering subsystem on the host. Interestingly, the host was a Windows 7 Ultimate machine until about a week ago (early Feb 2016), when I upgraded it by installing Windows 10 Enterprise. I had hoped that doing such an upgrade from Windows 7 to Windows 10 would fix the font-rendering issue especially because I already saw that Windows 10 running in a virtual machine on the same host did not have the font-rendering issue. Unfortunately, the update to Windows 10 did not fix the font-rendering (I did not do a fresh Windows 10 install--I did the update that preserves the previous OS files and settings).
* Added 2/12/2016 *I took a brand-new hard drive and installed a clean Windows 10 instance onto the same hardware on which the "host" I refer to above is running. The new Windows 10 instance has smooth fonts, just like the virtual machine (VM) instance of Windows 10. This tells me that the hardware of the machine is not causing the problem to generate the image on the right and that the VM (or virtualization technology) is not the reason for the disparity. I now have hard drive A with Windows 10 on a physical machine I can boot into and see the image on the right; I have a second hard drive B with Windows 10 on the same machine I can boot into to show the image on the left.
I then wiped that new hard drive and installed Windows 7 Ultimate from Microsoft source Setup DVD. It also renders the image at the LEFT (the correct, smooth fonts). So the problem is not that Windows 7 has the issue on my hardware and that Windows 10 doesn't correct it--it's clear to me now that Windows 7 does not show the font issue on my hardware if I reinstall Windows 7.
So, virtualization aside--it appears that I am witnessing some sort of corruption in the font-rendering subsystem between my existing host machine and a "normal" Windows 7/10 machine (remember, my existing host machine was upgraded from Windows 7 Ultimate to Windows 10 Enterprise and the problem did exist in Windows 7 Ultimate before I did the upgrade; in fact, I was hoping the upgrade would fix this issue--alas, it did not).
When ClearType is ON, Windows font rendering engine try to optimize the font rendering by taking advantace of the LCD R/G/B subpixel. If you check the magnified image on the left, you can see that each font have bluish/reddish smoothing, this is due to the LCD subpixel structure (more info on subpixel rendering here).
But, as you noted, this works bad on big font size.
But it still works very good on small font size.
If you turn off ClearType rendering, then Windows font rendering engine will stop taking advantage of the LCD subpixel structure, and now the font will have a simple gray smoothing (instead that the bluish/reddish smoothing).
This works better on big font size... but works very bad on small fonts size, as you can check by looking at filename rendering, menu renderng and so on...
Now, the fact that on your guest PC the font rendering seem better, is probably due to the fact that the ClearType subpixel font rendering is enabled only when Windows detect a physical LCD screen.If the virtual pc don't detect a physical LCD, it will probably use the "standard" (grayscale) font smoothing.
Now you could try to force Windows to use the "standard/grayscale" font smoothing, instead that the Cleartype/subpixel smoothing, but on my computer it didn't make any difference: force the grayscale smoothing give the same result as disabling Cleartype from control panel. (More info here on registry hacks to try to tweak Cleartype rendering)
We labored with our foundry partners to come up with an amazing solution. Today, we are introducing a FREE new product called Demo Fonts. Demo Fonts are trial versions of your favorite typefaces that you download, install and use like any other font. There are no third-party apps to install, no background-running processes talking secretly to our servers. These are real, live font files that work in any of your apps.
What am I actually allowed to use Demo Fonts for?
You can use Demo Fonts for anything, as long as usage remains a mock-up. This includes print, web, app, ebook, broadcast, whatever. As soon as the artwork moves from mock-up, to final art, you will need to purchase the appropriate license, regardless of whether it is for personal or commercial use.
How long can I keep Demo Fonts installed?
You can keep Demo Fonts installed for as long as you need. We do not limit your time allotment. Keep them on hand to check in future projects without having to download them again.
I must say you are very skilled at persuasive writing if you can convince me to share your views. I am very impressed by your excellent writing abilities. Please keep up the good informational writing.
The message you want to convey is the most important part of any document. But how you do it also plays a great role. Font faces, sizes, and colors may radically change the way the reader perceives your content.
Serif font families are traditionally used in print media, making reading from paper easier. The basic print text is black on white, but modern printing techniques and electronic media have made room for more diverse colors in documents.
Font colors and background colors are used to draw attention to parts of the text. You should use them with caution, though, as similar colors may lead to unreadable results. A properly chosen set, however, will greatly improve text visibility and readability and may be used to aid accessibility.
The font styles, just like the basic text styles, can serve many purposes. You can apply the font size setting globally or to a selected part of the text to make it catch the eye of the reader. Using different font families can help differentiate between sections of the content that serve various purposes (like main text and a side quotation or a recap). Different font colors can work as markers and guides just like font background colors that stand out even more and draw attention.
Starting with version 42.0.0, we changed the format of import paths. This guide uses the new, shorter format. Refer to the Packages in the legacy setup guide if you use an older version of CKEditor 5.
By default, all font-family values that are not specified in the config.fontFamily.options are stripped. You can enable support for all font names by using the config.fontFamily.supportAllValues option.
By default, the number of displayed document colors is limited to one row, but you can adjust it (or remove the whole section) by using the config.fontColor.documentColors or config.fontBackgroundColor.documentColors options.
We recommend using the official CKEditor 5 inspector for development and debugging. It will give you tons of useful information about the state of the editor such as internal data structures, selection, commands, and many more.
With the release of version 42.0.0, we have rewritten much of our documentation to reflect the new import paths and features. We appreciate your feedback to help us ensure its accuracy and completeness.
