phpstorm open directwrite font rendering api in windows 7

hello,

    how can i enable the directwrite font rendering api  of windows 7 for phpstorm?  because the same size of consolas font in the phpstorm editor is thin than in notepad++ or other editor, chrome use directwrite font rendering api , so the fonts looks Smooth 

                                                                                                                          best wishes!

Hello,

DirectWrite support depends on Java and there's a lot of issues with that.

There's an existing request https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JRE-11 - please vote for it with thumb up button and leave a comment to let the developers know that you need that feature.

You can try enabling the experimental DirectWrite support by following these steps:

* Open Help > Custom VM Options
* Append there -Ddirectwrite.font.rendering=true line
* Save file and restart PhpStorm

If it made no difference, most probably it means that the issue is not caused by not using DirectWrite.

Could you please clarify how exactly font rendering is different? To me, it looks exactly the same

Please check that C:\Windows\System32 (or corresponding folder on your system) contains Dwrite.dll file.

Also please attach a screenshot that would illustrate the issue.

Looks like it is not supported indeed. That option was just a suggested experimental support from https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/JRE-11 - issue is still open which means there is no official support.

Please follow the link and vote for that issue with thumb up button in order to receive notifications about further status updates.

You can't delete it on your own, but we can do that for you - just tell us the filename.
