Trying to get the text to be less pixelated. Any ideas?

Running on Windows 7 if that makes any difference. I've tried different fonts, different sizes, can't seem to find the right combination that will make the text smooth.

Might be something to do with ClearType.

If I posted any code, assume that code was written using the latest release version unless stated otherwise. Also, if it doesn't work on XP I can't help with that because I don't have access to XP, and I'm not going to.

"Quartz MS" doesnt look pixelated at all on my box can you just use a 'smoother' font? or is the intent trying to smooth "Segoe UI"

edit: until i blow that GUI up full screen, then i can see it slightly on the 45 degree angles

Actually I'm pretty happy with Quartz MS. I'll use that one. Thanks!
