@miloush I'm researching information about dotnet/docs-desktop#1643 and trying to understand what we should update in the docs regarding font rendering. AFAIK there isn't support for any other modern font system, and only ClearType is supported, correct? If that statement is true, that means WPF looks bad on OLED and other displays that use different subpixel schemes than the older LCD vertical RGB subpixels, correct?

I don't think you need to update anything on that page. It simply documents a way to set/override DWRITE_PIXEL_GEOMETRY for WPF application and all the possible DWrite values are included.
