Thanks for the help, Mike. I downloaded new drivers for my specific monitor
rather than the generic XP one. And I unchecked the "smooth edges" option.
It looks much better now. Thanks again!

Subject: Re: Fuzzy type on rebuilt system (Frame 6)
I'm usiing FrameMaker 6 on Windows XP Professional, and due to a hardware
failure I had to completely reformat and rebuild my system. Now the type
is
fuzzy on my monitor when I open a page in Frame. It used to be nice and
crisp. I mostly use New Century Schoolbook, a TrueType font. I have
tried
all the different Display settings under the Windows Control Panel, to no
effect. I don't think it's my aging eyes! Any suggestions?
Two things I'd check:
1. Make sure your monitor resolution is set to the "native" resolution of
your monitor. In other words, if the monitor is built with, say, 1920x1200
pixels, setting some other resolution will give a less clear picture.
2. Right-click the desktop, choose Properties. On the Appearance tab,
choose Effects. Do you need to change the "Use the following method to
smooth edges of screen fonts" setting?
