Hi,
I just updated to 8.0.0.261 to fix an issue and now I notice that all the fonts for labeling items appear bold regardless of whether or not the associated TextStyle uses DrawingFontStyles.Regular. Coincidentally, DrawingFontStyles.Bold looks identical to DrawingFontStyles.Regular when implemented.

Fonts always Bold?
Hi Damian,
Would you please try to set AntiAlias as the value for winformMaps1.TextRenderingHint property? This property is related to text rendering and AntiAlias should be the default value.
Hope this is helpful and if the issue still persist, I’m afraid we need you provide us a demo.
Thanks,
Hi Don,
Yes, that setting has helped. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
In version 7, I never set this property to get the good font. Is it a new option to deal with performance of font rendering?
Regards,
Damian
Hi Damian,
Actually, there is a bug with early version of 7.0, the TextRenderingHint property not works, so map doesn’t render the text with the setting of TextRenderingHint. After we fixed this bug, if the value still is “System Default”, map will render text with better performance but the effect is not that good, as what you mentioned. While “AntiAlias” is used for a better text render effect and it’s the default value of Desktop Edition.
Any question please feel free to let us know.
Thanks,
Troy
