Do you use Standard or ClearType text?

[Ho-Oh]

If you don't know how to find out which one you're using, right click on properties on your desktop then click the appearance tab and click effects. I use Standard. :D ClearType is stange. :x

I cannot stand text that isn't ClearType, mostly because I've just became too accustomed to it over the years. Though I can remember it being the other way round in the past since Standard was the default setting for this computer. But I find that ClearType a lot more easier on the eyes and makes every single letter clear and crisp, unlike Standard that tends to blob a lot of letters (especially when italicised.)

Vista it's Right click desktop > Personalise > Window Colour and Appearance > Effects
kinda the same but thought I should say anyway

Anyway, mine's Clear Type. I remember when I accidentally changed it to Standard and it was really hard to read but I've just done it to this computer and it seems weirdly bold but I can read it. I don't like it at all so I'm keeping it as Clear Type.

Not sure if this is what you are getting at…

ClearType is a Windows thing but the option you showed is essentially the Mac equivalent.

As for me, I use ClearType. I ended up discovering it by mistake a long time ago and then realized how much better everything looked with it on so I left it.

Found your problem.
You're using a Mac. Sell it and get a decent PC.

I use ClearType because standard looks really weird and pixellated to me. XD;

I never realised there was another option 'til I had to reboot my computer and it automatically was set to standard.

 

[Unforgettable]

I use cleartype. I like the smooth look. Standard gets on my nerves. XD;

I'm currently using Standard, only because it's the default for my computer.
Not sure whether I'm going to change it, but I might be able to adapt to ClearType if I try it long enough.

I had no idea what I was using, until I messed around a little. It appears ClearType is set as the default on Windows 7, so that is what I'm using.

 

[Gerri Shin]

Neither! wahahahahaha! I use a completely different font rendering engine!

 

[Legobricks]

Oh thanks, I'd forgotten how to set that.
ClearType.

EDIT: Succesful troll.

Lol.

 

[Ayano Katagiri]

I had a look at both, I'm currently using Cleartype because it's the default setting. And to be quite honest, I could see no difference between the two on this laptop.

 

[Klippy]

I just took ClearType off for the first time in almost 6 months and I hate Standard now. XD; I'm just so used to ClearType, ugh. But it makes it look much smoother and nicer, so no complaints. :3

 

[Swift!]

I use ClearType, simply because that's the default for my computer and I can't see any difference between it and Standard.

I changed it to ClearType to see what it was like just then and it killed my wallpaper. >=\

I use Standard anyway.

 

[Melody]

I'm using ClearType actually. I think it's the default on vista anyways. Looks fine to me so I see no need to go fiddling with that setting

You'd make a good troll. Sad thing is you're not funny at all.

Your statement was challenged before you even made it.

Sorry, I forgot you were the ultimate judge of whether or not something's funny.
