Francesco Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 (edited) What about changing windows system font to the new Segoe UI (the one present in longhorn)? I mean the one that ms has been developing for 2 years and that seems really similar to lucida Edited November 24, 2005 by Francesco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magicfly Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 yeah! nice...SEGOE UI 8PT for best visual performance!maybe better than tahoma 8PT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomars Posted November 24, 2005 Share Posted November 24, 2005 That is one ugly font. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesco Posted November 24, 2005 Author Share Posted November 24, 2005 (edited) That is one ugly font.Segoe UI 9pt seems fontastic! I'm using it right now and I think it looks better than the old boring tahoma.If ms chose to use segoe ui in longhorn and had its ui developers working on that font for 2 years probably there must have been a reason... (maybe they were stuck with wingdings as their system font and they didn't know how to change it ) Edited November 24, 2005 by Francesco Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Martijn Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I really like the Sergoe UI font, it's very smooth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Francesco Posted November 26, 2005 Author Share Posted November 26, 2005 Segoe UI font as long as I remember has been present since office 2003 came out it's not a vista-only font. It just renders better with cleartype that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ðrзω™ Posted November 27, 2005 Share Posted November 27, 2005 nope, office 2003 is a tahoma based product, segoe ui has been in the making for 2 years at MS, and its the new vista font and office 12 fontoffice 12 will use 8pt and vista will use 9pt as standard.but ya right in saying it renders better in cleartype, that is what it was designed for and i personally like that fact XPero has made XPize change all the ugly remains of MS Sans Serif into Tahoma, xp looks a LOT better like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
