If you use DrawText with font smoothing on, and then call DrawText in the background color to &quot;erase&quot; the previous character, the antialiasing pixels remain. &nbsp;Is there any way (short of turning off font smoothing for the whole app) to erase the characters in this manner cleanly by disabling font smoothing for single DrawText calls? &nbsp;(Using SystemParametersInfo to turn off font smoothing is ineffective once the app has started.) &nbsp;Thank you in advance!

Most development for the Microsoft platform is done utilizing the technologies supported by the.NET framework. Other development is done using Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) for programs like Access, Excel, Word and Outlook, with PowerShell for scripting, or with SQL for large databases.

A font is a particular size, weight and style of a typeface. Each font is a matched set of type, one piece (called a "sort") for each glyph, and a typeface consists of a range of fonts that share an overall design. With the advent of digital typography, font is frequently synonymous with typeface, although the two terms do not necessarily mean the same thing. In particular, the use of "vector" or "outline" fonts means that different sizes of a typeface can be dynamically generated from one design. Each style may still be in a separate "font file" -- for instance, the typeface "Futura" may include the fonts "Futura roman", "Futura italic", "Futura bold" and "Futura extended" —- but the term "font" might be applied either to one of these alone or to the whole typeface.
