Fonts bluring

You have to check antialiasing, and this actually turns antialiasing off, resulting in sharp (non-antialiased) text. It's counter-intuitive, I know.

Pretty sure this trick only works on Direct3D 9 mode. It has no effect on Direct3D 11. Not to mention it doesn't work on any non-Windows platforms either.

Ultimately, you will probably find you want to use a proper bitmap font for text as the text object and Windows' fonts aren't really good for pixel art games once you start scaling them. Then you m ay find that you want integer scaling for your display, because otherwise on certain resolutions your pixel art is going to look all wonky and stretched out.

There is the "text blitter Object" and "Ultimate Fullscreen" extensions you can download to do those things, however they are both Windows only.

I made my own platform agnostic system for both, which you can check out here if you want to try it out:

Example: Extensionless Integer scaling/Text Blitting/Pause menu

Hey everyone

I've mooched off members generosity here for a while now so I thought I'd add a contribution for once

Requires CTF 2.5+ (not tested on previous/other editions)

What is in it:

Extensionless integer window scaling using a sub app:
- uses only default objects
- supports pretty much any resolution
- landscape or portrait
- easily resize window/fullscreen
- uses sub apps
- easy to use, 2 global values to set and you're good to go, 1 global value to adjust window size (in this example it's…

Maybe you can check Please login to see this link., which provides several options about anti-aliasing.

As it's rendered by another lib, so it doesn't have alpha issue or eat blank characters like DX11 runtime
