Enable Clear Type
Microsoft states, “With
Windows XP, ClearType delivers improved font display resolution over
traditional anti-aliasing. It improves readability on color LCD
monitors with a digital interface, such as those in laptops and
high-quality flat desktop displays. Readability on CRT screens can
also be somewhat improved.”
I do most of my work
using a standard CRT and find it greatly enhances the readability.
Perhaps it's because I'm old (read that as Elder(ly)) and the eyes
aren't what they used to be:
To enable Clear
Type:
Right click on a blank area of the Desktop and choose [Properties]
Click on the Appearance Tab; Click Effects
Check the box: Use the following method to smooth edges of screen
fonts
In the drop down box select: Clear Type
Microsoft offers a
site to enable Clear Type and then fine tunes the settings via
a graphical interface that allows selection of a visual effect best
suited to your individual system.
