Wickedkitten Veteran Posted December 5, 2002 Veteran Share Posted December 5, 2002 yeah im using jaguar.. how to enable that? open up system prefs, click general, and its right down at the bottom you might want to set it to turn off font smoothing for anything under 8 for best results and then set it to medium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cerbero Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 Yup, that's how you do it. A tip though, if you're using Chimera Navigator, you might want to set "Minimum Font Size Allowed" to 8 or 9, to get the best looking web pages. It's in Navigator's Preferences, Appearance, Fonts, and then click the Advanced button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the tip :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cerbero Posted December 5, 2002 Share Posted December 5, 2002 cerbero, i don't find that minimum font size allowed in navigator's preference. :( What version of Navigator are you using?
