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:
- Text appearing in a different font
- Display of blank spaces instead of text
- Display of corrupted letters or characters
- Text displaying as a box (☐)
- Without zooming in, text seems to be less visually distinct
- Text not fitting the space or frame it was placed in
- Text overlapping other text in an object
- Reversal in the order of the text
- Difficulty in selecting the text
Should you encounter any of these issues, modifying the font display setting may provide a solution. To adjust the font display, do the following:
- At the right end of the status bar, right-click Graphics Performance ( Find).
Alternatively, at the Command prompt, enter graphicsconfig.
- In the Graphics Performance dialog box, under Effects Settings, 2D Display Settings drop-down list, select Advanced Mode.
- Clear Accelerated Font Display.
- 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.
