A personal thank you goes out to terminaldogma who posted a great tip in our forums on how you can improve the "ClearType" fonts in Windows XP!
Despite what everyone believes or is saying, ClearType dramatically improves the readability of CRT monitors as well as LCD Screens for which it was originally intended. Now even Microsoft are promoting the use of it on CRT with an online tool that will fine tune the font to your liking.
Heres what Microsoft say:
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.
XP users, decide for yourself! check the link. we will also add it to the side menu for future reference.
