What version is the newest Segoe UI?

The version installed with Office 2007 (presumably) is 0.97.

that is what I always wondered. Why this font on mac was such beautiful and ugly on a windows xp machine. Is it a cleartype thing or something?

Possibly. There's way too much contrast for Lucida Grande when ClearType is turned on.

ClearType may be nice for LCDs, but grayscale antialiasing - the one used in Mac OS X - beats ClearType when it comes to CRTs.

Mac OS X is using font antialiasing throughout the system and it's applications, Windows isn't capable of displaying fonts the same way.

Didn't see your post rm20010. :laugh:

I just wanted to add that these fonts are not yet released and therefore considered warez here at Neowin. Anyone posting links to download these fonts will be warned!

As for the fonts, they are stunning! :yes:

Except for Segoe Script and Nyala the rest are part of Office 2007 BETA.

If you want them, go to http://www.microsoft.com/office/preview/beta/getthebeta.mspx to get Office 2007 Beta 2, they're included with it ;)

Seems like you gave a link to get those fonts. You should warn yourself.

    • Why you need to take back control of your synced passwords and how to go about doing that

      By Steven P. · Posted

      I hear you on browser password manager, in my case I have two Google profiles, one was created when Google decided to grandfather us out of Workspace for Domains (with the replacement being too expensive for 25 users) resulting in my domain email address no longer being able to be registered to a new Workspace I created (for myself and another co-owner) so I could use Takeout and sync over some stuff to the new Workspace. Then I have my personal Google profile which I could be logged into on my desktop or Mobile, so I am saving passwords on one or the other, and when an URL changes another password for the same service gets added, it basically ends up being a giant mess. Unless I missed something is there a local decent password manager that can override the browser password managers for Chrome, Edge, Firefox (profiles) so that there is only one vault, and does that also support Passkeys (which to me are still confusing because sometimes it will ask for a Passkey on a phone I am no longer using!) Microsofts implementation of Passkeys is the worst!

      It's utterly baffling that we have no idea when we'll get new features even well after they've been released. Why Microsoft thinks this is a good rollout strategy is beyond me.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      I owned a lot of Soundblaster cards over the years all the way back to the ISA slot era. I use a Soundblaster X3 external now because I'm able to run it through a KVM and have it follow the machine I happen to be using. It drives a set of JBL 305 powered monitors wonderfully. I'm not gaming or doing home theater through it, so rear channels aren't a consideration for me, though it does have side / rear / sub outputs.
