Not a complaint but a minor feature on the New IE 7.0 browser called "Clear Type" (switched on by default) has sharpened the text display up on the forum pages . Wink
Not been into the font area to see if there are any changes as Windows controls this.
If you do upgrade you'll see what I mean
especially in Block capitals Razz

I know someone is gonna ask eventually. So might as well post it now. Roll Eyes

While great for LCD/laptop users, people with CRT displays may find that ClearType actually makes text more difficult (blurry) to read.

First, you can try tuning ClearType using Microsoft's online ClearType tool. (IE required)

If you see no improvement, ClearType can be disabled:
1. Open the Display control panel
2. Click the Appearance tab
3. Click Effects
4. Under "Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts:", either select 'Standard' or uncheck the box.
5. Click Ok. Click Ok. Done.
