'' This sample demonstrates how to use TrueType font hinting instructions.
''
'' Many TrueType fonts include low-level hinting instructions.
'' The original purpose of introducing hinting instructions was 
'' to improve the look of glyphs when the font size Is comparable
'' to the device resolution. But such instructions are now also used
'' (especially in CJK fonts) to reuse some glyph parts in different
'' glyphs regardless of the font size.
'' GcGraphics supports hinting instructions. To enable it, set
'' TextFormat.EnableFontHinting property to true when rendering text.
'' 
'' This sample renders a Latin text in a small size with hinting off And on,
'' And then renders a CJK text also with hinting off And on.
