Windows XP users...

are you using ClearType or Standard type fonts?

I like the ClearType myself, but from what I've read, it kinda gives you a false impression of what your site looks like because not evenone is running these nice anti-alaised (sp?) fonts.

I can't stand ClearType and have turned it off. It makes things look too blurry for me.

[deronsizemore]

I've always liked the "Macish" look that cleartype gives...just never knew you could turn it on for XP.

[Johnny Gulag]

I have Cleartype enabled also.

[KelliShaver]

I have cleartype enabled, can't stand the way fonts look without it.

ClearType here. I guess it comes set default?

No, shouldn't come default on XP. At least not when you reload a machine from scratch.

Right click on your desktop. Go to Properties>Appearance>Effects>and then change it from "standard" to "cleartype".

i downloaded a ClearType tweak tool from MS last night and played around with it. Can't say that it looked better. i noticed that i was squinting trying to read things after i turned it on. ended up turning it off.

I didn't even know what they were until I saw this thread! I had a look at ClearType and decided I preferred Standard. For some reason ClearType just reminds me of old computers, perhaps because the old ones I used to use at school looked similar?
