1. Click the start button (Microsoft Logo bottom left of screen)
2. Type into the search box: appearance
3. Click on the link that appears near the top ---> Adjust the appearance and performance of Windows
4. Uncheck Smooth edges of screen fonts

both don't really help, that cleartype is just a gimmick :/

when I look at the thicker fonts on nfohump they seem kinda smeared out...

I can promise you, it's not a gimmick Laughing There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with the fonts and 2D visuals on my end mate -- all looks clean and crisp and snazzy.

Running out of ink? You mean a clogged printhead perhaps. The fonts on Windows have too sharp edges for me, too much contrast. Looks kind of shoddy like the whole shebang could fall apart. OK that's sort of an overstatement but you know what I mean Wink. Apple's typography in the browser looks more stable and balanced to me.

I know, it's a gay designer kind of thing Laughing
