title: Windows Server 2012 force font smoothing (anti-aliasing) over RDP
body: <p>I am using <a href="http://guac-dev.org/" rel="nofollow">Guacamole</a> 0.9.7 which uses RDP through a middle server to then project the RDP to a web browser. Works great, but I have users who want font smoothing. Guacamole doesn't yet support font-smoothing over RDP. There are some <a href="https://github.com/pfoorion/guacamole-server/commit/422aae28163b42d2e846163da5ea66f17aa9a875" rel="nofollow">manual fixes</a>, but they look daunting and no guarantee it will work.</p>
  
  <p>What I am wondering is if there is a way to simply force font smoothing on the Windows 2012 server. I can set font smoothing manually after connecting, but it goes away the next time a user connects. I also would prefer to use RemoteApps as opposed to giving them access to the full desktop, so they wouldn't even have the option to set it manually every time.</p>
  
  <p>I've dug around endlessly in the registry, group policy and searched the web, but I can find nothing that will force font smoothing to stick. Any ideas/suggestions?</p>
  
  <p>A batch file that enables font smoothing that I could put in the startup folder would also be fine. If anyone knows the command lines for that, it would be much appreciated.</p>
