I installed IE7 on a spare computer to try it out and searched around to see why my usual sites had fonts that looked horrid - both on a CRT and an LCD. I read on some sites that you can tune it with some other apps but I can't be bothered - I like the old style IE6 way better, or Firefox. Info on tuning/disabling here: http://www.xerratus.com/2006/10/10/...oDisableIt.aspx http://blogs.msdn.com/ie/archive/2006/02/03/524367.aspx Magnus Really? I actually like it. Text looks smoother to me. Swamper quote: Originally posted by Magnus Really? I actually like it. Text looks smoother to me. It's 'smoother' but less crisp... so if you're at a high resolution and with small fonts things become harder to read because there isn't as much space between characters (since the cleartype made the fonts wider/bolder) echosystm why even bother updating to IE7? it's always going to suck... just like every other version :conf: alefort quote: Originally posted by Swamper It's 'smoother' but less crisp... so if you're at a high resolution and with small fonts things become harder to read because there isn't as much space between characters (since the cleartype made the fonts wider/bolder) I agree, but god damn, italicized fonts look sooooooo much better in cleartype than in the standard font. This is standard text. This is italicized text. Walouf quote: Originally posted by alefort I agree, but god damn, italicized fonts look sooooooo much better in cleartype than in the standard font. This is standard text. This is italicized text. Italicized text isnt important enough to make me put up with another microsoft program. Also, i've yet to hear about improvements in the spyware/adware domain for IE7 neg6 Have to say i prefer the look compared to IE6, but still prefer to use firefox. CLICK TO RETURN TO TOP OF PAGE
