Embora o ClearType não tenha sido projetado especificamente para CRTs, descobri que melhorou muito a qualidade de renderização de texto quando tentei ativar o ClearType no meu CRT anos atrás. É claro que é provavelmente menos eficaz que os LCDs por causa das diferenças no layout de pixels, mas ainda melhor do que nenhum. Isto é o que a Microsoft disse:
ClearType Antialiasing
Microsoft ClearType antialiasing is a smoothing method that improves font display resolution over traditional antialiasing. It dramatically improves readability on color LCD monitors with a digital interface, such as those in laptops and high-quality flat desktop displays. Readability on CRT screens is also somewhat improved.

Q. Will ClearType improve text display on CRT monitors?
A. Yes, but less so than with LCD displays. Because a standard cathode-ray tube (CRT) screen uses an electron beam to activate pixels, ClearType does not provide the same benefits that you experience on an LCD screen. However, because ClearType still applies a form of filtering similar to traditional antialiasing, you may see some improvement when enabling ClearType on a CRT screen.

More specifically, the ClearType technology is optimized for LCD panels with red, green, and blue (RGB) striped sub-pixels that are oriented vertically, although it performs reasonably well on CRT displays (especially those that are aperture grille based) and even LCD panels with horizontally oriented RGB stripes. Although this might seem counterintuitive, through informal studies, we’ve found that about 70% of users prefer ClearType even on these non-optimal displays. Of the 30% who preferred other rendering techniques, their biggest concern with ClearType in these non-optimal cases was the loss of text contrast.

Even though there were still CRTs in use, feedback from Windows XP customers was positive on the quality of ClearType rendering on CRTs. After we made the choice, the feedback on the decision to enable ClearType as the default for Windows Vista was overwhelmingly positive.

To get the full benefit of ClearType, you need a high-quality, flat-panel monitor, such as LCD or plasma. Even on a CRT monitor, you might get some improvement in readability with ClearType.

Se isso não funcionar, você pode tentar uma solução de renderização de terceiros, como GDIPP Mactype que tem um perfil para renderização de CRT, ou você pode criar seu próprio perfil
Qualquer coisa (além do GDI ++) para melhorar a renderização de fontes no Windows?
