In the case of VFP, this isn't what's really happening. If you look closely at what VFP is rendering for ClearType, you'll see (in some cases) that the pixels rendered actually look like they have been shifted away from the original text by 1 or 2 pixels. It appears to be a VFP-related rendering issue, not something with ClearType. You can even see it in forms that appear to be perfect when they are first instanciated show the artifacting/bold issue as soon as you tab into another control on the same form.
