GUICtrlSetFont() and related

[trancexx]

Would it be possible to get another parameter to functions GUICtrlSetFont() and GUISetFont() to be used to select font quality. Or maybe to add more values to attribute parameter?
This appears to be most useful for XP.
Here's the script that shows the difference (is seen on most of the XPs that I could test with - that's a lot actually):

;#NoTrayIcon
#include <WinApi.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

Opt('MustDeclareVars', 1)

Global Const $DEFAULT_QUALITY = 0
Global Const $DRAFT_QUALITY = 1
Global Const $PROOF_QUALITY = 2
Global Const $NONANTIALIASED_QUALITY = 3 ; WINVER >= 0x0400
Global Const $ANTIALIASED_QUALITY = 4 ; WINVER >= 0x0400
Global Const $CLEARTYPE_QUALITY = 5 ; _WIN32_WINNT >= _WIN32_WINNT_WINXP
Global Const $CLEARTYPE_COMPAT_QUALITY = 6 ; _WIN32_WINNT >= _WIN32_WINNT_WINXP

Global $iToggled
Global $sFontName = "Arial";"Trebuchet MS"


Global $sText = "Environment = 3.3.0.0 under  WIN_XP/Service Pack 3 X86" & @CRLF & @CRLF _
		 & "Pointer to a null-terminated string that specifies the typeface name of the font." & @CRLF _
		 & "The length of this string must not exceed 32 characters, including the terminating null character." & @CRLF _
		 & "...blah, blah, blah..."


Global $hGui = GUICreate("My GUI")
GUISetBkColor(0xFFFFFF)

Global $hFont = _CreateFontWithDifferentQualityValue()

Global $hButton = GUICtrlCreateButton("Change label font quality", 115, 300, 170, 25)
Global $hLabelInfo = GUICtrlCreateLabel("- AutoIt font", 170, 350, 100, 25)
GUICtrlSetColor($hLabelInfo, 0xFF0000)

Global $hLabel = GUICtrlCreateLabel($sText, 110, 30, 180, 180)
GUICtrlSetFont($hLabel, 8.5, 400, 2, $sFontName)

GUISetState()


While 1

	Switch GUIGetMsg()
		Case - 3
			ExitLoop
		Case $hButton
			_ToggleFont($hLabel, $hFont)
	EndSwitch

WEnd

;cleaning
If $hFont Then
	ConsoleWrite("! On exit delete custom font: " & _WinAPI_DeleteObject($hFont) & @CRLF)
EndIf

; The end




Func _ToggleFont($hControl, $hFont)

	If $iToggled Then
		GUICtrlSetFont($hControl, 8.5, 400, 2, $sFontName)
		GUICtrlSetData($hLabelInfo, "- AutoIt font")
		$iToggled = 0
	Else
		GUICtrlSendMsg($hControl, $WM_SETFONT, $hFont, 1)
		GUICtrlSetData($hLabelInfo, "- custom font")
		$iToggled = 1
	EndIf

EndFunc   ;==>_ToggleFont


Func _CreateFontWithDifferentQualityValue()

	Local $tLOGFONT = DllStructCreate("int Height;" & _
			"int Width;" & _
			"int Escapement;" & _
			"int Orientation;" & _
			"int Weight;" & _
			"ubyte Italic;" & _
			"ubyte Underline;" & _
			"ubyte Strikeout;" & _
			"ubyte CharSet;" & _
			"ubyte OutPrecision;" & _
			"ubyte ClipPrecision;" & _
			"ubyte Quality;" & _
			"ubyte PitchAndFamily;" & _
			"char FaceName[32]")

	Local $hDC = _WinAPI_GetDC($hGui)
	Local $LOGPIXELSY = 90
	Local $iDCaps = _WinAPI_GetDeviceCaps($hDC, $LOGPIXELSY)
	_WinAPI_ReleaseDC($hGui, $hDC)

	DllStructSetData($tLOGFONT, "Height", -8.5 * $iDCaps / 72)
	DllStructSetData($tLOGFONT, "Weight", 400)
	DllStructSetData($tLOGFONT, "Italic", 1)
	DllStructSetData($tLOGFONT, "Quality", $CLEARTYPE_QUALITY) ; CLEARTYPE_QUALITY for example
	DllStructSetData($tLOGFONT, "FaceName", $sFontName)

	Local $hFont = _WinAPI_CreateFontIndirect($tLOGFONT)

	Return SetError(@error, 0, $hFont)

EndFunc   ;==>_CreateFontWithDifferentQualityValue

Automatic ticket cleanup.

Not sure It will be the last request of change as ChangeFont as so many parameters which are not accessible.
In my specific case as Cleartype is the default under Vista your example as no effect. The only value which is changing something is $NONANTIALIASED_QUALITY which does not seems an improvement.
Please specify in which context such quality only addition will be a very good improvement.
Thanks

Well, XP market share is over 60%. Font smoothing feature is disabled by default (no smart reason these days I guess). I don't know how many users enabled smoothing, but GUIs with regular font are much more unattractive.
The option for me (let's say) is to enable smoothing for user (and disable it later):

Global Const $SPI_SETFONTSMOOTHING = 75

DllCall("user32.dll", "int", "SystemParametersInfo", _
		"dword", $SPI_SETFONTSMOOTHING, _
		"dword", 0, _ ; 0 -> disable, 1 -> enable smoothing
		"ptr", 0, _
		"dword", 0)

or to use custom font with CLEARTYPE_QUALITY.
Additional values for attribute parameter with AutoIt font functions is desirable from my perspective.

I understand That will be the last parameter that we will add to GUICtrlSetFont().
I will not extend more attributes ton such function.
;)

I don't see why we should add this attribute.
