Emacs bad font rendering under Windows

emacs, fonts

Solution

Download and install Inconsolata.ttf font and install it instead of otf:

It will be rendered smoothly on Windows.

Problem

After some googling I found, that people recomment font Inconsolata for programming in Emacs. I installed it on Windows and Linux from here: http://www.levien.com/type/myfonts/inconsolata.html Here are the screenshots of the same text 1 - Linux, 2 - Windows XP SP3: Under Windows the font is thin, unclear and is uncomfortable for reading. Is it possible to make it render it as well as on Linux?
