Weird fonts in new update 3.1 Build 3170

#22

I recommend checking out New DPI scaling makes my text look like old TV screen text. In short, we now respect your ClearType tuning preferences. It would appear they are set to heavy aliasing. The linked post includes a link with info about how you can tune your preferences.

These settings do not work together. DirectWrite (dwrite) and GDI are separate font rendering APIs in Windows. In fact, using directwrite and dwite_cleartype_natural will get you results almost identical to GDI. However, if you’ve enabled gdi, then none of the dwrite_* options will be used.

Thanks @wbond. It’s only on my work PC that has this problem. Everything works as it should on all my other Windows 10 devices. I’ll try the different options suggested in that link. BTW: Thanks for all your development effort and respective support on ST3!
