DirectWrite is a text layout and glyph rendering API by Microsoft. It was designed to replace GDI/GDI+ and Uniscribe for screen-oriented rendering and was shipped with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, as well as Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 (with Platform Update installed). DirectWrite is hardware-accelerated (using the GPU) when running on top of Direct2D, but can really render on the CPU to any target, including a GDI bitmap.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Introducing DirectWrite )〕〔(Windows 7: Introducing Direct2D and DirectWrite ) – PDC 2008 video 15:00-16:00 and 27:00-28:00〕 Microsoft has fixed many DirectWrite bugs in Windows 7 through Windows 7 Service Pack 1(SP1),〔http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?FamilyID=c3202ce6-4056-4059-8a1b-3a9b77cdfdda〕 KB2505438 update,〔http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2505438〕 KB2665364 security update〔http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2665364〕 and KB2670838 update. == Features == * Comprehensive support for Unicode, with over 20 scripts providing layout and rendering of every language supported in Windows. DirectWrite supports measuring, drawing, and hit-testing of multi-format text. Supported Unicode features include BIDI, line breaking, surrogates, UVS, language-guided script itemization, number substitution, and glyph shaping. * Sub-pixel ClearType text rendering with bi-directional antialiasing which can interoperate with GDI/GDI+, Direct2D/Direct3D and any application-specific technology. When using with Direct2D, text rendering can be hardware-accelerated or can use WARP software rasterizer when hardware acceleration is not available. * Supports advanced typographic features of OpenType, such as stylistic alternates and swashes, which were never supported in GDI and WinForms. These features were demoed at DirectWrite's launch (at PDC2008) using the Gabriola font, itself also introduced with Windows 7. * Provides a low-level glyph rendering API for those who employ proprietary text layout and Unicode-to-glyph processing. In Windows 8.1, DirectWrite gained support for color fonts.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=What's new in DirectWrite )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「DirectWrite」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
