How Can I Generate a Bitmap Output with Anti-Aliased Font Rendering?

Adjust the Proper DC

Use the following screen DC to create font rendering with anti-aliasing options (as adjusted for the Screen):

HDC dc = CreateDC(TEXT("DISPLAY"),NULL,NULL,NULL);
eCode = BCSaveImageEx(m_pbarCode, dc, file, imageType, 100, widthPx, heightPx, dpi, dpi );

if (dc)
    DeleteDC(dc);

Adjust the Proper Font (LOGFONT)

Use the Windows standard font dialog or the following function to retrieve a pre-initialized LOGFONT structure from Windows GDI:

HFONT hSystemVariableFont = (HFONT ) GetStockObject( ANSI_VAR_FONT );
LOGFONT lfSystemVariableFont;
GetObject ( hSystemVariableFont, sizeof(LOGFONT), &lfSystemVariableFont );

// Make sure that the following flags are set in the LOGFONT structure passed to BCSetLogFont():

lfOutPrecision (e.g. set to 3)
lfClipPrecision (e.g. set to 2)
lfQuality (e.g. set to 1)
lfWeight (e.g. set to 400)

lfFaceName should be set to a True Type font (e.g. “Arial”)

// Calculate the font height as follows:
lfHeight = = -MulDiv( 10 /*PointSize*/, GetDeviceCaps(hDC, LOGPIXELSY), 72);
