question reg: cleartype tuning

[sanjaykumar]

I use the following registry tweak in my automated dvd. I found this in one of the registry tweaks thread. the description for this tweak was given as "enabling cleartype tuning"

;Enable ClearType for ALL Users

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]

"FontSmoothingType"=dword:00000002

Microsoft has released some powertoys for XP, one of which is enabling cleartype fonts for LCD displays. A ".MSI" package can be extracted from the setup to create a slient install for that app. My question is: does the tweak above does the same as the powertoy from MS? do I have to or can I to use them together, or is it goint to be simply redundant entries?

The power toy comes with a wizard to adjust the FontSmoothingGamma value.

Once you find the value you like, put it in your reg file.

Then there's no need to install both. Unless you want to play around with the

wizard.
