> What is "ClearType", something specific to XP? It is the software based anti-aliasing for on-screen fonts. The results depend on the screen type (its said to be best on LCD monitors). Well, personally, I can't get used to it. A lot of contrast is lost, especially on "dense" characters like "mmmmm", maybe you get the idea. You can only optimize it for a certain set/type of fonts (its funny: people buy LCD's to get a sharper and more steady picture, and then MS supposes to apply ClearType so that the characters look all washy like on a 6 year old CRT again *ggg*). I use different fonts in various places and when one font (like the system font Tahoma) looks really good with ClearType, another (like the fixedwidth font in TB) looks horrible. The worst thing about ClearType is that you can *only* adjust your cleartype settings by visiting a M$ website with IE + an ActiveX control (someone please correct me, I'd be more than happy). -- Best regards, Alexander mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________________ Current beta is 3.0.2.2 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
