Vista - How to draw "clear" text?

It seems that 'SnapsToDevicePixels' property does not
affect Label and Button.
Here is my 'XAML':

<Window SnapsToDevicePixels="True"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:sys="clr-namespace:System;assembly=mscorlib"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml" >
<StackPanel Width="250" SnapsToDevicePixels="True" Margin="7"
Orientation="Horizontal">
<Button Content="Click Me1" SnapsToDevicePixels="True" />
<Button Content="Click Me2"/>
<Label Content="fj" FontSize="16" SnapsToDevicePixels="True"/>
<Rectangle SnapsToDevicePixels="False" Width="45.5" Margin="10"
Height="1" Fill="Red"/>
<Rectangle SnapsToDevicePixels="True" Width="45.5" Margin="10"
Height="1" Fill="Red"/>
</StackPanel>
</Window>

Rectangle with 'SnapsToDevicePixels="true"' is clear, but Label and Buttons
are blurry.

Looks fine to me. I presume you are talking about ClearType sub-pixel
rendering. You can't turn that off.

You can tweak the settings in the registry - see here:

Can this be turned off only for one application?
