MILERR_DEVICECANNOTRENDERTEXT

MILERR_DEVICECANNOTRENDERTEXT is a Windows Media Integration Layer (MIL) HRESULT. It indicates that MIL has no suitable algorithm or device path for the text-rendering request.

What to check

  • Check the font, glyph format, text effects, transform, and rendering mode used by the request.
  • Try a simpler text effect or a software-rendering path to determine whether the hardware path is the limitation.
  • Update the graphics driver when the same text renders correctly on other supported devices.
