Enable ClearType by default

Open lhecker opened this issue 3 years ago • 0 comments

Description of the new feature/enhancement

In testing I found absolutely no difference in visual appearance on my 27" 4K display (163ppi), but a noticeable improvement in clarity/readability on my 27" 1440p display (109ppi).

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

There's two ways we can go about this:

  • Enable ClearType for everyone under all circumstances
    • Pro: A single line change in our settings model.
    • Con: Uses 4x more memory for glyphs (4MB -> 16MB @ 2048x2048). But this could be a future-us concern, since right now we always use such a 16MB texture.
  • Enable ClearType only at 100% display scale
    • Pro: Less memory usage in the future.
    • Con: Another "default" setting is needed in the settings model.
