GDI+ is ancient, archaic, slow, is difficult to work with, and produces poor quality output. ¿Sure?.
GDI+ i think that support but i want force gdi+ Paint'net not accept gdi+, inclusive if disable hw acceleration. Between directwrite and gdi+ the difference not it's much ¿In paint.net the gdi is disable why? i never encounter error between old version that use gdi. More powerful is that select engine on setting menu, i sure that i don't is unique people that is ask how to disable the bad engine "directwrite", is program for painting i maybe. gdi+ is more open to support file formats. Notepad font is more quality than paint net.
If gdi is completely bad why others peoples still searching it? for my point of view if your adds directwrite add any option due remove completely one motor. Is searching to delete but hard to add. you are kidding me?
Notepad++ notepad windows movie maker windows UI and common windows program still using gdi+ or gdi. If is deprecated ¿why i can be use currently on this programs?. Gimp photoshop, after effect also still using...
