if this doesn't look different to you then i'll look very stupid

dorian · 24-11-2003, 19:43

i think it does... you get to see the antialias... windows will get there one day... give it 2-3 years

(please lets not start the win v. mac discussion again)

If you have XP , you can turn anti aliasing on now for the web, still, it does look better in safari

Its called 'clear type'

Brown · 25-11-2003, 06:14

yay. windows users with lcd's should turn on clear type.

here's how to do it but i think the chap's got the wrong idea about why. http://jogin.com/weblog/archives/000308/

afaik, its for lcd screens as windows then spits out three pixels for each pixel - rgb - which makes everything look an awful lot more nicely than it ever did for us before.

I hate clear type, everything looks like a over-compressed jpeg.

It made me think my eyes needed testing. In fact, if you look at my portfolio you'll see that they do.

Its anti aliasing on web fonts, looks nice but makes your eyes bleed after a while

mark · 25-11-2003, 12:16

I just have to say again that clear type is WRONG.

Plainly the work of the devil.
