Some points, maybe mostly for the record: - My display is a TFT display. - Perhaps I do not use the best driver at the moment, since I am using a switch between the PC and the display. - It looks much better with ClearType on. - I am quite a bit surprised that Eli and Jason found the font on the picture I sent satisfactory. Could it be that it looks different on your displays? Though I have a hard time to understand how that should work.
