How to make ClearType looks ok even with large fonts
- by Sorin Sbarnea
I discovered that on large/huge fonts ClearType does have a negative impact. Just take a look at http://patterns.dataincubator.org/book/ page (check title with huge fonts versus normal text). If you are on Windows 7 you can use Win+Plus/Minus to zoom in/out.
I'm looking for a configuration that would make both small fonts and large fonts look well. The system is Windows 7 but I suppose you could replicate the problem on Vista and even XP if you activate ClearType.
Current results:
ClearType on and tunned - small fonts looking good and large one looking bad
ClearType off - small fonts looking bad and large one looking ok (smoothed)
