587293 - DirectWrite always on on DX10 hardware

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Core :: Graphics, defect)

Description

[Bas Schouten (:bas.schouten)]

Right now, even if you manually pref render-mode to 0 on DX10 hardware. DirectWrite will still be on, this is because it gets turned on if it's preffed on, -or- if the render mode is D2D before the prefs are read. We should make it respect the DWrite pref in render-mode 0.

Ditto.
Plus, the font smoothing with DirectWrite is so awkward, that it actually hurts to browse the internet...
And i would like to stay with Minefield for the time beeing ;)

Can't we not create the DWriteFactory in this case?

Bas tells me that this method needs cleanup to make it more sane; file that bug, and this temporary hack is fine.
