This really doesn't bother me very much, but if anyone knows the reason why text is rendered differently then enlighten me please. :) So here's*the*crime scene: http://img220.imageshack.us/img220/5476/a2th2.png Magnified: http://img227.imageshack.us/img227/8409/a1fd5.png Left button has text rendered on Paint event of that button, right button has Text property set to the same text.
