Ok, this nifty has been around for many many years, and bless me, I now only got to find out about it. This is a dll file that smooth your Windows XP font to look more like Vista or Mac. It actually bolds it a little and makes it more rounded compare to the thin and skinny looking font of the default XP. Below is a comparison of how my XP font rendering looks like with and without GDI++. At both times, I already have my true type turn on. The application has been discontinued and may be a little buggy. I have no problems using it so far.

Thanks for the great tips. Perhaps I could try to smoothen things up now! :D
