&lt;p&gt;Right now, its exceptionally problematic for business applications that require font rendering&amp;nbsp;where the interface is supposed to operate with smaller sized fonts (&amp;lt;12). Large sizes seem to be less problematic. But any controls are usual designed with small size fonts. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It would be extremely useful, if we could at least&amp;nbsp;elect not to anti-alias the typography (which can make it far more readable in some situations).&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Looking forward to any responses.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;thx&lt;/p&gt;
