One tip for better font rendering in XP is as follows. Right-click the desktop, and select Properties. (Or go to Control Panel / Display.) On the Appearance tab, click the Effects button. In the Effects window, select, "Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts" (checkmark in selection box), and in the options dropdown, select ClearType. Click OK, Apply, etc. I've not tried this with the problem described below, but this setting does make a very noticeable improvement everywhere else.
There is a similar ClearType option in Windows 2000, and maybe even Windows ME. In XP, it's a big improvement.
