Wrong font-thickness with „Flicker free drawing"

[Ernst Sauer]

Hello,

I got the example „Flicker free drawing ...“ from
http://www.codeproject.com/KB/GDI-plus/flickerFreeDrawing.aspx

It works almost fine with my graphic,
but the font-thickness is wrong, it is about 1 pixel too big
and it looks like Bold.

string s =String.Format(Gl.culture,"{0}", i);
Font font = new Font("Arial", 8, FontStyle.Regular);
// also tested Font font = new Font("Arial", 8); from the example
SolidBrush brush = new SolidBrush(farbe);
dc.DrawString(s, font, brush, pt1);

Same problem with other fonts.

The original example works fine and uses the same font
and I can't see any difference.

Thanks
Ernst

There obviously must be some difference. But without a complete code
example, it's impossible to say.

That said, you probably don't need to follow that particular example
anyway. It's useful to understand the basic technique and to see an
implementation. But you can accomplish the same thing simply by setting
the DoubleBuffered property in your Form sub-class's constructor.

Great, thanks,
it's so easy ...
