Text Fonts - If your text is jagged...

I wanted to share this info since it took me a couple days to figure it out.

If your text fonts are jagged in any of the html editors then you need to check this setting. Go to Control Panel, Display, or Right Click on your Desktop & choose Properties, then go to Appearances, Effects and Check The Box "Use the following method to smooth edges on screen fonts" after you check this box Choose Clear Type, then Choose Apply, OK and OK and your done. Repeat for every user account.

I had nice smooth text fonts, even when I used advanced setting and increased the font size beyond it's standard max of 7. I installed a new XP OS and installed the Coffee Cup software and initially had terrible jagged edges on my text fonts until I figured out this option which was not easy for me to determine.

Thanks Jon for the info. If it wasn't for the internet you probably wouldn't have to monkey with this setting and if it wasn't for the internet most people would never know how to change it.:D
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.
