    I've only seen one person with this problem (Windows 7: ClearType Text), but then again I don't read General as much as before

    Me too!

    The quick reply box was often unreadable one line above and below where typing in a small box such as our quick reply and Visitor Message boxes here on the forum.

    All lines are nice and crisp as I type this now.
    As I scroll the message all words stay focused in the message.

    It was my only complaint with IE9 final release.

    Well it is better sometimes.

    Bottom is clipped off but at least it isn't a total blur.

    At least it is legible.

    Seems to have affected FF5 too as it uses the DirectWrite APIs too. Fonts are much better now

    Was having the blurry font issues, this seems to have fixed it.

Greetings! I have Acer Aspire 5750G. My current BIOS version is 1.07. The latest version is 1.12. There are a few versions in between. Should I do incremental updates and reach 1.12 or should I just go direct to 1.12? Many Thanks!
I always preferred the way Mac OS X deals with fonts than the way Windows does. There has been plenty of discussions about this everywhere, so I don't care to start another one, but my question is, is there a way to hack Cleartype to make the fonts look more like OS X? I've done the Cleartype tuner...
