W40K Dawn of War: blurry font with AA #228

All games from series W40K Dawn of War (Dawn of War\Winter Assault\Dark Crusade\Soul Storm) have bug with AA. It is described on pcgamingwiki "Forcing AA will render fonts blurry and harder to read". And if we ON AA using any method (control panel, wrappers or native game AA) we have blurry all text in game and make his unreadable. It is possible exclude elements with text from AA processing?

Theoretically this is possible. However, I am not sure if there is a generic way to solve this.

The easiest way is to just exclude AA from the textures that display fonts that become blurry. I did some updates in dxwrapper in the past to exclude certain textures, so you could try enabling the AA in dxwrapper (new release today) and see if that helps.

still blurry.

I would need to test with this specific game and see what is happening. I will look into it later.
