Hello,
I think only bold fonts are getting anti-aliased.
Try 'Arial', size of at least '9' with weight 'bold'.

I have a desktop gadget that pulls a short piece of text from a website and displays it to the user. Basically a daily quote/ inspiration type thing. This works without a problem but the fonts look really bad.
I am displaying the text on a Label element with a transparent background. The Label is inside of a Div that is set to automatically scroll. I have tried Georgia, Verdana, LiberationSerif, and others. None of the fonts look good. It seems like maybe they are not anti- aliased?
If I display the text inside of an Edit element then the fonts look normal. However I cannot set the background of an Edit to transparent and I need the image in the background to show through.
Anyone got any suggestions?
