Thanks, but did you see any difference between the screen shot I sent 
and the one Drew sent? On my screen the two pictures look very 
different. Does not that happen on your screen?

The thing is that Drew uses "ClearType" font edge smoothing whereas I 
use the default "Standard". If you zoom in the pictures from me and Drew 
you can see the actual differences. But perhaps it is only me that 
thinks that the default font that Emacs uses here on w32 is not very 
readable unless you change the default MS Windows settings for font edge 
smoothing?
