Running Windows with jagged crappy looking fonts?

Posted on Tuesday, December 18, 2007 in Technology

Windows has a nice feature for font smoothing.. that I was just reminded of while testing webpages in XP via Parallels on my mac. It makes viewing web pages a much more visually pleasing experience.

Example? (this will give u a 220×50 sneak peak at my redesign!)

Before:

After:

To turn on font smoothing, Right click on the desktop, choose “properties” (it’s similar in Vista something like “personalize” instead of “properties”). Go to the “appearance” tab and click the “effects” button.

I accidentally found that if you apple click an item on the dock, the Finder will open the folder containing that dock item.

Neato! :)

I can’t wait to upgrade to Leopard… soon… soon…
