[Resolved] GetTextExtentPoint32 is anti-anti-aliasing my fonts?

[Arawn]

I wrote a simple little utility to create a .bmp with text in a font of the users choice. It worked great until I decided the .bmp should be sized accordingly to the string/font combo. If I call GetTextExtentPoint32 to get the width/heigth, then do a TextOut, it comes out all blockish and fugly. Does anyone know what could cause that? And more important then the cause, how can I work around it? I suppose I could write the .bmp, then open it back up and crop it, but that seems a like a pain and rather un-effecient if I could just calc the size before I write it the first time.


Figured it out! After GetTextExtendPoint32, I had to call SetGraphicsMode and set it to GM_ADVANCED.
