The TextRenderingHint is now automatically selected to satisfy this condition as long as GlobalSettings.AutoChooseRenderingHintForLabels = true, which is the default.

Any options that utilize the GraphicsPath (Shadowing, Halo, and Outline) require the Text Rendering Hint set to Anti-aliasing. Additionally, the GraphicsPath font size is in 'em's rather than Points, and requires conversion based on the current pixel density (DPI).
