this is how ClearType operates.

From Wikipedia: so the red bold text refers to the "device as defined by the API" that you as a developer have access to through the OS or software layer you are using. It appears that currently we don't have access to the subpixel capabilities but since they are in three colors, even if you do you still can't draw half a pixel. Thanks though for discussing this with me, prompting me to do some reading rather than just typing and running my mouth like I usually do! Laugh | :laugh:

Wikipedia snips
--------------
Like most other types of subpixel rendering, ClearType actually involves a compromise, sacrificing one aspect of image quality (color or chrominance detail) for another (light and dark or luminance detail). The compromise improves text appearance because when viewing black and white text, luminance detail is more important than chrominance. The compromise works because it takes advantage of certain peculiarities of human vision.

Normally, the software in a computer treats the computer’s display screen as a rectangular array of square, indivisible pixels, each of which has an intensity and color that are determined by the blending of three primary colors: red, green, and blue. However, actual display hardware usually implements each pixel as a group of three adjacent, independent subpixels, each of which displays a different primary color. Thus, on a real computer display, each pixel is actually composed of separate red, green, and blue subpixels. For example, if a flat-panel display is examined under a magnifying glass, the pixels may appear as follows:
