using Tahoma isnt rly usefull, check the Quality with a Cleartype Font would be much better(Calibri, Corbel, Consolas….)

@Bart Cleartype is on per default and AFAIK u cant diable it.

[...] I must now point out that while this is true, after looking at a few samples today, as well as this font rendering comparison, the quality of rendering is not on a par with the standard Windows Cleartype that we are used to. [...]

guess WinForms is best because WinForms/GDI+ render to device pixels, why WPF/Silverlight conceptually have to render to a layer which is device agnostic.

Any word on performance with ClearType off/on. Does it benefit from GPU acceleration?

@Joe,

Good point, however I tried a FontWeights of DemiBold and Medium, however they all looked exactly the same.
