Guest Glenn Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Has anyone noticed that cleartype corrupts the password character (big dot). It's not completely round -- flat on the top, and pointy on the bottom. This doesn't happen on initial login (after a cold startup), only after a login from a locked/suspended/hibernated machine. It's not a big deal, just annoying. Anyone know of a solution (besides turning off cleartype, which does fix the problem)? I see this problem in XP but not Vista.

The tool will let you make clear type more or less strong. Get it at http://www.microsoft.com/typography/ClearTypePowertoy.mspx Alias
Guest Glenn Posted June 20, 2008 Posted June 20, 2008 Re: Cleartype and password character corruption Yes, I'm using the cleartype powertoy, and I did try various settings (at both ends of the scale) and it did not help.
