What does

SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault

The help appears lacking here. I'm having minor issues with my font sizes.
Thanks

What does

SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault

do?

"Certain Windows Forms controls can render their text using either the
GDI graphics library, or the newer GDI+ library. This change was made
because of performance and localization issues with GDI+. By default,
existing controls that support the UseCompatibleTextRendering property
are set to true for backwards compatibility, but all new controls in
environments such as Visual Studio have this property set to false.
Use SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault when you wish to switch the
default text rendering for new controls."
