Why Do Fonts Look Better On Internet Explorer?
I am not sure if you noticed this, but why do fonts look better on Internet Explorer compared to Firefox or Google Chrome? Is it just something I have accidentally changed or configured differently with my computer or are their other people who notice this too?
Here are three screen shots of my blog home page. The first shot was captured using Internet Explorer, the second is Firefox, and the third is Google Chrome. You can click on each screen shot to view the full size. Do fonts display differently between the three web browsers on your computer as they do on mine? The fonts on Internet Explorer look way better, and I’d like to be able to configure the other browsers to look the same.
Internet Explorer:
Firefox:
Google Chrome:
I don’t notice too much of a difference between Firefox and Google Chrome; however, both compared to Internet Explorer is no contest. The fonts on Internet Explorer look so much better. Anyone know how I can get the fonts to look as good as Internet Explorer on Firefox and Google Chrome?

If you have a windows PC, you can enable cleartype to do this on all programs (display settings -> appearance tab -> Effects button -> select ‘ClearType’ in the drop-down box). It will affect your whole system though. As far as I know, there is no plugin to do this only in firefox.
I don’t know how this works if you have another OS.

Is this for Windows XP or Vista, or both? I can’t seem to do this using Windows Vista. I found this article for XP:

I can’t seem to find anything that applies for Windows Vista. The only way I know how to show ClearType on Vista is the Performance Options menu to choose either, “Let Windows choose what’s best for my
childcomputer“, or, “Adjust for best appearance“, as shown in the image below:I have since made this adjustment, but it kind of bothers me now because I always choose “Adjust for best performance” because Windows Vista is a piece of shit and operates much slower when you make the OS look all pretty with the bells and whistles. I also keep my theme / desktop very bare and use the Standards Windows 98 Theme. lol

It’s for XP, I found it through google. (But I’m using vista myself, lol)
You can still get into the appearance window by right clicking on desktop -> personalize -> windows color and appearance -> click on “open class appearance properties for more color options”. -> Effects button.
