If you are using MyGUI 3.2.0 or version form svn, then open FontEditor and play with various parameters. Most important one is probably Hinting. Also in newer freetype versions hinting was improved, so you should try it, if possible.

Hi, Altren,

Thanks for your help. I have updated to the latest FreeType (v2.4.10). and played the hinting property, but not good enough. is "force_auto" the best value? And should i compile ttfautohinting library for better quality?

Thanks

Well, there is no "best" hinting value, since different people prefer various hintings, or ho hinting at all. What about ttfautohinting - I never heard about it, but if you know how to enable this one in freetype, you can try to do that.
