The UseCompatibleTextRendering property is intended to provide visual compatibility between Windows Forms controls that render text using the TextRenderer class and .NET Framework 1.0 and .NET Framework 1.1 applications that perform custom text rendering using the Graphics class. In most cases, it's recommended that you leave UseCompatibleTextRendering set to the default value of false.
You can set the UseCompatibleTextRendering property to true for a specific control. To set UseCompatibleTextRendering to true for all supported controls in the application, call the Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault method with a parameter of true.
