I've tried Emacs 21.1 under WinXP (as I've read that Cleartype works for some reason on this version) and though it does anti-alias the fonts I get very strange streaking and screen artifacts that only refresh when C-l is used. When I switched to Emacs 21.2.1 on my desktop the Cleartype fonts worked flawlessly for some reason. But, when I tried the exact same pre-compiled version of 21.2 on my notebook and another desktop running WinXP the Cleartype will not work on Emacs. It's very strange and frustrating -- Cleartype on Emacs looks really great when it works correctly. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had encountered this before or if they had advice on what might be happening that I can't reproduce on the other systems. Thanks.
