Text Rendering Build World-Ready Apps Using Complex Scripts in Windows Forms Controls

摘要

Developing world-ready software is one of the requirements software companies must meet if they want to reach customers around the globe. Text-rendering libraries must excel at rendering text, as well as at supporting international locales (language packages). This is where the Windows~® Forms System .Drawing.Graphics class presents some limitations—it is based on GDI+ and currently has limited support for complex scripts. The System.Windows.Forms.TextRenderer class was developed to provide the same level of support for complex scripts in Windows Forms controls that we expect from the Windows operating system. This TextRenderer is based on the GDI text-rendering API, which uses the Windows Unicode Script Processor (Uniscribe).
