Seems like you need a decent monitor. Cleartype enhances font appearance. It very nicely, deals with the main problem I have with viewing fonts on LCD monitors. If it's not working on your monitor then don't use it. It's optional and can also be adjusted. With or without cleartype, some fonts render particularly nice while others don't. That depends not only on cleartype but the monitor *and* the resolution it's running at. BTW, I bought my LCD monitor since it does give a sharper and flat picture. It's tremendously space efficient and generates much less heat. -- -= Allie =- .....
