Anti-aliasing text in IE... or something

[Exoshear]

There's a feature on the Microsoft website which makes text more crisp and clear in IE. I can't for the life of me find the page with it on -- Any help would be great.

Cheers!

The only thing i know of is going into desktop properties and under the effects tab you can smooth on screen fonts

The ClearType effect is supposed to be better for LCD screens. I always find it makes things look more blurry. Its under Destop properties->appearance->effects.

I ran this yesterday, so there you go You need to access it from IE though since it uses some form of windows scripting to make the changes to your system. It is very good though. I got it looking nice on my CRT at home and back in Manc, rather than eye-strainingly blurring as before

EDIT: Note that this is a feature of Windows XP rather than Internet Explorer, and will apply to all your programs.
