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?
