Is ClearType supported?

[NitroUser]

I noticed NitroPro text rendering is not sharp and as a result it's tiring to use NitroPro as a PDF reader for more than a half hour.  I bring up the same PDFs in Chrome and the vector fonts are super sharp.  

I can't find a ClearType or similar rendering enhancement control in Preferences.  Is there a way to get text to render sharper in NitroPro?

Example of Chrome (left) and NitroPro (right) viewing the same document.

For reference I'm using NitroPro 12.5.0.268 on a Surface Pro 4 (216ppi display).

Allain's advice was to launch NitroPDF.exe with a compatibility setting to override default high DPI scaling.  That did the trick.  All PDF text now renders without pixelation/fuzziness.   Thus, ClearType isn't even needed - which is good because NitroPDF doesn't utilize it.

The specific steps he provided are:

1. Right-click Nitro Pro desktop shortcut or the NitroPDF.exe (by default is installed in C:\Program Files\Nitro\Pro\12) then select Properties
2. Nitro Pro Properties window will open, click on Compatibility tab
3. Under Settings, click on Change high DPI settings.
4. Another Nitro Pro Properties window will open.
5. Enable Override high DPI scaling behavior.
6. OK > OK to save the setting and test Nitro Pro again.
