Hello.
I'm not sure if this is possible in CSS, but I wanted to ask in case it is.
Is there a way to force a system to use Cleartype fonts (smooth fonts) for a webpage?
I know a lot of systems have the Cleartype fonts on them, but don't necessarily use them, so wondered if it's something that can be toggled by a stylesheet.
Many thanks in advance!
Regards,'ClearType' is a MS windows app that improves font anti-aliasing on, mainly, flat-screens.
There is no way to detect or switch this on without asking the user.Many people (including myself) see the cleartype rendering as simply more blurry... rather than the single stem of a letter being a 1px band of black, it's a 1px band of blue beside a 1px band of orange.You might find this (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.mikeindustries.com/blog/archive/2004/08/sifr">http://www.mikeindustries.com/blog/archive/2004/08/sifr</a><!-- m -->) interesting...sIFR looks worse than ClearType!
