❔ Winforms rotated text in `ToolStripButton` appears bold

When setting the direction of text to e.g. Vertical270, the text in the button becomes different, either bold or lower quality, I'm not sure. How do I fix this?

Have you tried rendering the specific text on a button via its popup event?

void tooltip_Popup(object sender, PopupEventArgs e)
{
    e.ToolTipSize = TextRenderer.MeasureText(toolTipText, new Font("Courier New", 10.0f, FontStyle.Bold )); // !
    e.ToolTipSize = new Size(e.ToolTipSize.Width + TOOLTIP_XOFFSET, e.ToolTipSize.Height + TOOLTIP_YOFFSET);
}

    e.ToolTipSize = TextRenderer.MeasureText(toolTipText, new Font("Courier New", 10.0f, FontStyle.Bold )); // !
    e.ToolTipSize = new Size(e.ToolTipSize.Width + TOOLTIP_XOFFSET, e.ToolTipSize.Height + TOOLTIP_YOFFSET);
}

Not tool tip, tool strip

It's got the property as well.
