Text anti-aliasing hints for LCD_HRGB and ANTIALIAS_ON not enabled for some fonts/sizes on WinXP.
For certain fonts and sizes on WinXP, the Text RenderingHints:
VALUE_TEXT_ANTIALIAS_ON
VALUE_TEXT_ANTIALIAS_LCD_HBGR
become disabled, and no anti-aliasing is performed on a particular font. Examining the font with a magnifier application (at these sizes) shows no grey pixels (for ANTIALIAS_ON) or no colorized sub-pixels (for LCD_HBGR). Pixels will only be black and white.
Here are some observed TrueType fonts where the bug occurs on WinXP. The bugs seems to only occur within the size range 11 - 21.
Garamond, Albany, Andale Sans, Broadway, Cumberland, Palace Script, Sheffield, Thorndale, and some others.
- Was not able to see this problem on other platforms.
- The bug was introduced with 1.6.0-b39
Steps to reproduce
==================
1) Use build 1.6.0-b39 or later
2) Launch Font2DTest and set Antialias Setting to "ON" or "LCD_HBGR"
3) Select one of the fonts from the list above, say Garamond
4) Set the font size to 11
5) Observe that the characters will show no anti-aliasing, only black and white
