WPF custom font not rendering properly

Question

I am using the font "Code Bold" for a WPF application, font is embedded and looks to be working in Expression Blend and the WPF designer.

As shown here:

The bottom text looks to be better antialised. What could be a problem here (except that the font sizes don't match).

I already added these tags to the control and parent window:

    TextOptions.TextFormattingMode="Display"
    TextOptions.TextRenderingMode="ClearType"

Does it have to do that the font is not Cleartype?

Try playing with SnapsToDevicePixels or UseLayoutRounding (depending on version of WPF) on yourelements that use the text, between all of these settings you should get what you need.

Thanks will do that. This textbox is in a border control, but I read somewhere that you can better but a rectangle behind it, I will check that too. – Roger Far Apr 25 '12 at 11:53

UseLayoutRounding="True" worked for me. I'm using: WPF .NET 4.5.

I also tried SnapsToDevicePixels="True" and RenderOptions.ClearTypeHint="Enabled" but these made no difference.

In my case I am creating custom controls. I set UseLayoutRounding in the style sheet of the custom control. All control instances are now rendering text correctly.
