Any one of DefineText, DefineText2 or DefineEditText.

0 - No grid fitting
1 - Pixel-level grid fitting
2 - Sub-pixel (1/3 pixel) grid fitting - apparently good for LCD screens

Thickness: -200 to 200
Sharpness: -400 to 400

A contained tag might be best. Something like this?

<textfield ... >
  <settings render="simple|advanced" grid="none|pixel|sub-pixel"
thickness="-47.0" sharpness="100.0"/>
</textfield>

...or maybe just add those attributes to the <textfield/> element.
Maybe not though, since it already has lots.

Cheers,

Steve
