    Question Scattered font

    I have transparent background in my application and fonts are
    scattered quite badly against dark desktop backgrounds.

    I have set TransparencyKey same as my form background and
    fonts seems to use same background color as well, which is not
    transparent, so the fonts looks like hell...

    I replaced my background color near font color but it didn't look good at all.

    Here's how i draw my component...

    Code:
    ...
    	BufferedGraphicsContext ^context = BufferedGraphicsManager::Current;
    	BufferedGraphics ^buffer = context->Allocate (this->CreateGraphics (), this->DisplayRectangle);
    	buffer->Graphics->FillRectangle (static_cast<Brush ^>(gcnew SolidBrush (this->BackColor)), this->DisplayRectangle);
    	buffer->Graphics->TextRenderingHint = System::Drawing::Text::TextRenderingHint::ClearTypeGridFit;
    	writer->write (buffer, 7, 6, 30, 15); // Component drawing procedure
    
    	buffer->Render ();
    ...
    Text is written to the buffer using Graphics:rawString (...)

    Here's small screenshot as an attachment.

    Anyone have solutions for this ?

    (a) this is a C forum, but you are speaking C++
    (b) the issue is to do with your non-standard library, not the language.
