| 126555 | 2003-03-08 11:18:00 | I've tried "smooth" fonts in Adobe Photoshop. Think the fonts were clearer without it. Italics are harder to read than un-italic fonts and smoothing them could make it worse. Can you try without italics or a different font? |

| 126556 | 2003-03-08 11:23:00 | =/ Let me state my prob again.. I have century schoolbook font which I always use. I just reinstalled Win 2k pro again, not fresh, after changing gfx card to something pretty much same and all. and when I chat etc I always use CS on bold italic. It's normally very smooth and i have the smooth screen fonts checked under display effects. But now its not smooth any more its all pixely.. Is there a way to get round this. I know there is, because i've had this prob so many times but I never remember how to fix it. |

| 126557 | 2003-03-08 11:25:00 | Did you change your screen resolution to a higher resolution or is it at a lower one? Right click empty spot on desktop and check the properties. |

| 126559 | 2003-03-08 23:44:00 | Did you install the right graphics card drivers? | Heather P (163) | ||
| 126560 | 2003-03-09 00:39:00 | you say you have the smooth screen fonts checked but are you sure it's set to ClearType and not Standard. There is a big difference between the quality of the text on my monitor (19" CRT) if it's on Standard instead of ClearType. Full instructions (for WinXP - sorry, i don't have Win2K - they should be pretty similar though): In the Control Panel open Display Properties. Click on the Appearance tab, click the Effects button (bottom right of the box). There should be a tick next to "Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts" and in the box below it should be set to "ClearType". Click OK, OK. HTH Stephen |
