Do you use ClearType with a CRT monitor?


Recommended Posts

Umm. You guys do realize that Cleartype slows down Windows, right?

For proof, just try scrolling a website with it on, then off.

Whoops. Just tried it myself. Doesn't do it anymore. Guess they've fixed the issue in a past patch.

(Been a while since I've tried ClearType)

I used to run it when I used a lower resolution, but now that I'm running 1600x1024 I simply can't use it. It makes small text too blurry to read. I do use standard font smoothing though, which is great on certain fonts. Bitstream Vera Sans will be anti-aliased using standard font smoothing at all sizes, it simply looks great.
