I have attached a small sample application that shows that even though the text 
is printed onto the TImage descendant, it is not drawn correctly where the font 
is jagged and squeezed together and almost readable.

At first, I couldn't get the Brush.Style to be clear, but after I was able to do 
that, the font just will not render correctly.  I have attached a screen shot 
also that shows what the phone looks like.

I'm on Lazarus 9.24 Vista Business (same behavior on XP Pro though).
