GDI+ drawing strings causes messed gaps between letters - how to fix?

[iliyang]

I just cant' get how to draw strings with "proper" letter spacing, especially when they're bold. Some letters in specific combinations when being drawn next to each other appear slured (without even a pixel gap). The font I'm using is the default MS Sans Serif 8,25pt Here's a link to a sample screenshot: >> link The left one is drawn using the Graphics.DrawString method and the right one is a screenshot from a ListView. Why is that difference? How to achieve this?

Well, turns out that it is a global issue and there's no way (at least that I know) that can fix this. Thе string that I drew was something like "bla bla the_messed_part" (1) and the string in the listview was "the_messed_part" (2). And when I tried to draw the string (2) or let the listview draw the string (1) both work the same way. So I guess the solution is to choose a different font like Tahoma, for example, which looks like MS Sans Serif. Of course, this is not a very good solution, 'cause this way I'm fixing the font and if the user has a totally different system font set, it'll be pretty ugly...
