SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault

[Smokey Grindel]

What are the advantages and disavantages of doing a
Application.Set CompatibleTextR enderingDefault (False)

on application start? I know it switches between GDI and GDI+ depending on
true and false, but why do I want to set this? I am seeing this a lot more
in code lately. thanks!
