Description Rudolf Hornig

Build ID: M20070212-1330

Steps To Reproduce:
Using any advanced features switches on the Advanced bit on the GC (= using GDI+ on windows). Unfortunately this also result using GDI+ for thext rendering. Text rendering on GDI+ is considereable different than on GDI. There should be a possibility to switch back to non advanced mode and render texts with the GDI. Unfortunately Graphics does not expose this functionality so switching back is impossible once advanced mode was triggered.

More information:
see http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;307208
for more info, how advanced mode text rendering is different.
