Easy ClearType tweak

"With Windows XP, ClearType delivers improved font display quality over traditional forms of font smoothing or anti-aliasing. ClearType improves readability on color LCD displays with a digital interface, such as those in laptops and high-quality flat panel displays. Readability on CRT screens can also be somewhat improved.

Use this online tuner to turn on and tune your Windows XP ClearType settings. Alternately, download a Windows XP PowerToy version of the tuner. "

Just check the box on the page to turn it on then click next to 'tune' it.

 

Dave ...

FYI, the online tuner seems not to work properly with my Firefox browser (not surprising, since the pages are on M$'s website).

To clarify, the "Next" and "Back" buttons at the bottom of the pages do nothing in FF. The tuner does work if the "Step" buttons in the banner at the top of the page are used, instead.

 

Here's another option. ClearTweak
