ClearType looks like crap on my (TFT!) monitor
Well that's because the different technologies of manufacturing TFT. But there's a solution. It's called Clear Type Tunner. Just go to this page[^] and download it. It will let you customize the settings for Clear Type.

Thanks, after downloading I found out I already have it installed :) setting to "lightest", makes some fonts OK, but others still remain washed out. I guess I'll have to stay with the pixel fest.

It's just another example of MS copying off of Apple, but they did a lousy job with it. And yeah, I had to. :-D

I stopped using fonts a few months ago - I now program by sense of smell.

I'm now somehow relieved to know that somebody else besides me is using Fixedsys for coding...
And of course, I still use it for Notepad. :)
