Hi :) I was wondering if it was a "drivers issue" but i'm fairly sure that is the first thing most of the experts would have considered. Similarly with trying a different monitor.
Another unlikely tangent .... Of course many fonts appear quite differently if they were downloaded from different sources. It sounds a little odd that the default ones would be so horrible but maybe downloading "Ariel" etc from a couple of different places might find one that doesn't misbehave so badly. The reason i think that is unlikely is because Tim @ Kracked Press didn't mention it. Trying a different type of OS on the same machine could be quite informative but it doesn't seem to be so easy to test-drive a "Live Cd" from Win 8 and onwards. So i think Jim's answer might be the best one to try. It's quite obscure and yet simple enough that other experts might have over-looked it. I have no idea where to find that setting in any version of Windows since Xp. Good luck and regards from Tom :) On 27 September 2015 at 22:06, Jim Quinn <[email protected]> wrote: > Is your page-style set for "shadows"? > > -----Original Message----- From: Thomas Blasejewicz > Sent: Sunday, September 27, 2015 9:00 AM > To: [email protected] > Subject: [libreoffice-users] blurred display > > > Good evening > After Windows XP all Windows versions, AND all the Linux versions I have > tried too, are obsessed with making the display of screen fonts > as blurred and ugly as possible.
