Anti-Aliasing of Fonts w/o Cleartype

[egrath]

Hi,

as most of you will know, with Windows XP there is a technique shipped called "ClearType" which uses Sub-Pixel Rendering for Text Display. If you set Font Smoothing to "Standard" only larger Sized Fonts are smoothed using a standard Anti-Aliasing (Grayscale) Method. My question is, if there is any way to enable this Type of Font smoothing for ALL Fonts on the System, not only the large ones.

The reason i ask for this is, that i very dislike ClearType because my Eyes hurt when looking at them - MacOS for Example uses the same technique as Windows with "Standard" Font Smoothing - but also at lower Font sizes, and these looks good to my eyes.

Any suggestions?

For Reference i have attached a Image which shows the Smoothing i mean (labeled with Anti-Aliasing)

Goodbye, Egon

I hate ClearType too. I actually get dizzy looking at it. The text looks multicolored.

Small fonts should not be antialiased. That would make them even harder to read.
