ClearType is a form of sub-pixel font rendering that draws text using a pixel's red-green-blue RGB components separately instead of using the entire pixel.
When the pixel is used in this way, horizontal resolution theoretically increases percent. Picture elements on an LCD screen are actually comprised of individual horizontally-oriented red, green and blue sub-pixels.
For instance, an LCD screen that has a display resolution of x pixels actually has x individual sub-pixels. The human eye is not capable of differentiating colors on such a small scale, so a combination of these three primary colors can emulate any intermediate color.
Sub-pixel font rendering takes advantage of this by antialiasing at the sub-pixel level instead of at the pixel level. To see if your screen is set to its native resolution, try looking at the following eye test image.
The image is made up of many vertical black lines. If you see alternating bands of white running vertically through this image, you are probably running at a non-native resolution.

Many thanks to s4e8. Regards, Ben. Great work - it's really refreshing to have my font smoothing back!!! The host computer is running SP3, but the client computer is running SP2. I have added the registry commands on both the host and the client, but it is not working.
Do both ends have to run SP3? Does SP3 now enable clear type font smoothing? I noticed that SP3 has this added feature -- from knowledge base article which describes the RDP 6. To enable bit color, follow these steps: 1. To enable font smoothing, follow these steps: 1. Click Options, click the Experience tab, and then select the Font smoothing check box. I thought I'd wait awhile for the dust to settle wrt SP3 before I installed it.
Anybody know if this now gives cleartype? Would both sides need to run RDP 6. Re: Does SP3 now enable clear type font smoothing?
IIRC it's only available if the host is on Vista. Yomoma2: Could you clarify what "32bit works via reg" means. Sorry, I'm missing something. Via registry tweak you can enable 24bit colour not 32bit, my fault instead of the standard max 16bit. Not working for xp sp3 5. Any chance for update for 5. MD5 for win32k. Re: Not working for xp sp3 5. Not working for me with final sp3 b sp3 too! Thanks for you attention. Ditto - I wish I knew more about hacking this kind of thing, I would just do it myself.
Thank you for your hard work on this!
