Same font? How about starting with having the same font renderer that actually respects font rendering settings?

I mean, it is ridiculous. I have disabled antialiasing so most GUI text uses crisp aliased fonts as i like them. Then i open the settings app and it ignores the setting while using some font rendering with blurry antialiasing without even subpixel antialiasing. If i open an Explorer window (with, e.g., Win+E), it uses the settings i've set and has antialiasing disabled but if go to the address bar (This PC) and type "Control Panel" and press enter to open it, it uses antialiasing and this time it is subpixel antialiasing! WTF!

And the cherry on top? There is a "View by:" (Category, Large Icons, Small Icons) list at the top right where the "View by:" text is not antialiased (as i have set it), but the selected option right next to it uses subpixel antialiasing!

Come on.
