    [RESOLVED] Drawn Text looks pixelated!

    hi there,

    the following code draws a text on the picture box, but it looks pixelated and seems bold, no matter what font-face and font-size i use and no matter i use FontStyle.Regular or not...

    on the other hand, if i use any other color than black, the text will have a pixelated black outline as well!

    Code:
    System.Drawing.Font ft = new System.Drawing.Font("Verdana", 8.25f);
    br = System.Drawing.Brushes.Black;
    
    Bitmap bm = new Bitmap(picturebox1.Width, picturebox1.Height);
    Graphics g = Graphics.FromImage(bm);
    
    g.DrawString("My String", ft, br, 10, 10);
    
    picturebox1.Image = bm;
    ft.Dispose();
    g.Dispose();
    NOTE: since i'm drawing something else on the picture box, i'm using BITMAP to prevent the drawing to be cleared as soon as the control is refreshed...
