While configuring a new computer today I needed to enable ClearType fonts on Windows XP. Believe me, this makes
fonts on large LCD screens much sharper and smoother. Here's how:
Start --> Control Panel --> Display --> Appearance tab --> Effects.
--> Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts check box --> ClearType
or
Right click on Desktop --> Properties --> Appearance tab --> Effects.
--> Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts check box --> ClearType
