font

[Guest LisaB]

Hi I'm not sure if this is where to ask this question.

 

My font looks a bit faded? Not sure why? I've played around with the monitor

settings; and nothing fixes it. What could this be and what would cause it?

 

Thanks

HI! YOUR FONT DON`T LOOKS A BIT FADED. MAYBE YOU HAVE PROBLEM IN YOUR VIDEO

BOARD (CONFIGURATION?????)

OR IT`S NECESSARY BUY A NEW VIDEO BOARD. FIRST TRY CONFIGURATION OF THE

VIDEO BOARD. TRY CONFIGURATION YOUR FONT. NO SOLUTION. CHECK YOUR VIDEO

BOARD IS IN GOOD POSITION IN THE MOTHERBOARD. CHECK YOUR BIOS SYSTEM. BUY

ONE NEW VIDEO BOARD (LAST CONDITION)

Re: font

 

LisaB,

To use ClearType for screen fonts

 

1.. Open Display in Control Panel.

2.. On the Appearance tab, click Effects.

3.. In the Effects dialog box, select the Use the following method to

smooth edges of screen fonts check box.

4.. Click ClearType in the list.

Notes

 

a.. To open Display, click Start, click Control Panel, click Appearance

and Themes, and then click Display.

b.. ClearType is ideal for portable computer and other flat screen

monitors. ClearType may appear slightly blurry on desktop computer monitors.

c.. Whether you select Standard or ClearType from the list, you must have

a video card and monitor that support a color setting of at least 256

colors. Best results are achieved with High color (24-bit) or Highest color

(32-bit) support. Click the Settings tab to set Color quality.

 

That's a copy of result of Win+F1 || search on "Clear Type" || clicking on

"Use ClearType for screen fonts"

Ok it's set to standard and is worse when set to clear type.

Re: font

 

Is this a CRT? If so and the situation is getting worse, then the issue

could be be the control electronics in the monitor starting to fail.
