CDC Textout leaves artefacts

[EDN Admin]

I have an application that is using the MFC TextOut function to draw some text. The font is Arial. When I blink the text by redrawing it as the background color or even just change the text I am left with small bits of the original text (basically a ghost outline of the text). I have found that is is related to the anti-aliasing of the true type font and if I turn anti-aliasing off the problem goes away.

But is there a proper solution to this problem without turing off anti-aliasing?
