Font Smoothening – Enable GDI Effect or ClearType on Windows Mobile Phone OS

Now we should know that the fonts in Windows Mobile Phone OS can be rendered as Sharp Texts or Smooth Texts.

The Text on the Screen can be Smoothened in two Ways –

1. Enabling Clear Type
2. Enabling GDI Effect

Now this is how a Non-Smooth Text on Screen looks like:

And this is How it looks like on Enabling ClearType:

So to Enable ClearType, either go to StartMenu/Settings/System/Screen and enable it from there or add this Registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\CLEARTYPE]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\ClearTypeSettings]
“OffOnRotation”=dword:00000000

And this is how it looks like on Enabling GDI:

To Enable GDI, add this registry:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI\Fontsmoothing]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\GDI]
“ForceGRAY16″=dword:00000001
Then disable ClearType from setting and Re-Boot the Device.
