How To Improve Text Rendering Quality on ReoGrid version 2.0.1.0

First of all, Thank you for the great work!  I really love it!

Second, I found when comparing the control's text to the text in Excel 2010 it didn't look nearly as good (in the winform control)
I started working on how to fix it.  I used git hub and obtained the sourcecode and made a few changes.

Third, the text after the changes looks a bit better , less jagged, more even thickness on fonts and consistency.

//  below line added by M.Fletcher 12/10/16
                    g.TextRenderingHint = TextRenderingHint.AntiAlias;

the above 2 lines (comment and textrenderinghint) were added before any calls to GDI Graphics method DrawString(...)
Locations added to were:
Graphics.cs file

added
using System.Drawing.Text;   // so that TextRenderingHint.AntiAlias is recognized in code

class/namespaces

unvell.ReoGrid.Winform.GDIGraphics
     public void DrawText(...)

unvell.ReoGrid.Winform.GDIRenderer
     public void DrawCellText(...)

Thanks for providing the code!
