MAKE_STRING and font rendring

In my C++ gauge, I use the MAKE_STRING macro to display a string, easy...The problem I have now is that I have configured my Windows display settings to use the "clear type" font rendering. It makes the fonts smmoth and nice, but I would like to avoid it in my gauge.Today, if Windows is configured with clear type, my gauge also displays fonts using clear type: the desktop is nice, but the gauge is hardly readable. If I change the Windows settings to "standard", the gauge is perfect but my desktop is ugly.The solution is to force the gauge to use the standard font renderer, but I don't know how to do this (the font quality is not one of the MAKE_STRING parameters).Any idea?Thanks !!Eric
