SingleBitPerPixelGridFit

1

Each character is drawn using its glyph bitmap, with the system default rendering hint. The text will be drawn using whatever font-smoothing settings the user has selected for the system.

SingleBitPerPixel

2

Each character is drawn using its glyph bitmap. Hinting is used to improve character appearance on stems and curvature.

AntiAliasGridFit

3

Each character is drawn using its glyph bitmap. Hinting is not used.

AntiAlias

4

Each character is drawn using its antialiased glyph bitmap with hinting. Much better quality due to antialiasing, but at a higher performance cost.

ClearTypeGridFit

5

Each character is drawn using its antialiased glyph bitmap without hinting. Better quality due to antialiasing. Stem width differences may be noticeable because hinting is turned off.
