FAQ: Why is my TrueType font not displaying correctly?

Have you noticed that your TrueType font isn't displaying as expected? This might be due to a recent upgrade in our rendering model, which uses GPU acceleration to improve the display of typefaces.
Note: GPU acceleration is only available on devices with DirectX12.
While the upgrade generally enhances performance, it can occasionally lead to the following issues:

Should you encounter any of these issues, modifying the font display setting may provide a solution. To adjust the font display, do the following:

  1. At the right end of the status bar, right-click Graphics Performance ( Find).

    Alternatively, at the Command prompt, enter graphicsconfig.

  2. In the Graphics Performance dialog box, under Effects Settings, 2D Display Settings drop-down list, select Advanced Mode.
  3. Clear Accelerated Font Display.
  4. Click OK.
Note: If the Graphics Performance button is not displayed on the status bar, click Customization ( Find), the right-most button on the status bar and then choose Graphics Performance.
