Are My Fonts Supposed To Look Like This?
This is a clip from msn.com in IE9 on a new 64-bit install. ClearType is on.
I'm looking at a 1680x1050 display. I feel like I can see individual pixels. Large black headline fonts in browsers are especially bad, with artifacts coming off the edges of characters that should be straight, off the ends of characters like the letter "S", and inside the bowls of letters like "a" and "e".
Looking at the clip here, I see a smear of color between the "L"'s in "killer". The first "t" in "attention" has a smear of color behind it. I see many artifacts in the top line beginning with "Unexpected...."
Why do the fonts look so bad? How can I fix this?
