Quality of ezgdi vs gdipp

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Although both projects are based on freetype, gdipp produces superior
output when compared to ezgdi (and gdi++). I tried dozens of combinations
for ezgdi settings, but its output is blurrier than gdipp's.

Can you please provide both your ezgdi (or gdi++) and gdipp settings files, as 
well
as screenshots that could demonstrate the difference? As the author of gdipp, I
understand that gdipp may be superior in the aspect of compatibility, but not
functionality (as being a growing project). Normally, the rendering effect 
achievable
by gdipp can also be achievable by gdi++. I suspect the problem is related to 
the
ezgdi (gdi++) settings.

The main problem in ezgdi.ini is the shadow setting. You should provide a 
offset for
both the x and y axes. Other settings can also be optimized, like 
AntiAliasMode=4,
GammaMode=-1 or different gamma value. I attach a commented gdi++.ini. You can 
make
use of it.

In general, it is not a implementation problem of ezgdi, but rather user 
setting problem.
