Edit -> Preferences -> Appearance -> Font Smoothing -> choose standard (for CRT) or light. (default is medium).

Oops I checked those Appearance options thrice but still missed the option. Thanks Milind & legolas. But it's still not clear :( I am using 17" CRT.

does this happen even after choosing font smoothing as STANDARD "best for CRT", and NOT LIGHT?? Then its strange. Even in my LCD, the default looked more smoothed and strange, when changed to light, its acceptable...

I tried all the options. Didn't help. That's the way it appears on Firefox in Ubuntu too. :(

EDIT- I've NVIDIA onboard 6150 graphics

Seems you are not the only one who is having problems between Windows clearfont smoothing and Safari's inbuilt smoothing. All you can do is btich and wait :)

What the **** is wrong with you?

What the **** is wrong with me? Who the **** do you think you are to talk to me in that manner? What gives you that right? That was sarcasm, and you're shi**** me if you claim so otherwise. It's weird that Safari has that feature? Oh, yeah, it's totally, genuinely and non-sarcastically weird, let's call Ripley and ask him to include that. The only way you could have been more ******* obvious is if you would have said ,"Oh yeah, I'm going to be sarcastic now".
WOW, that was uncalled for. He wasn't being sarcastic. It really is weird that Safari has those more advanced options and even the Undo option but it does not work (while those others work like charms).

He was absolutely not being sarcastic. Read his reply again and you'll see. :)

I realize he is your friend Aayush, but blindly supporting someone is something I would not expect of you. Either that, or either you have lost all fluency over English that I assume you possess.

And pray tell me, what was uncalled for? My reply sounded far more polite than the post that incited it.

LOL! This is funny. That was sarcasm, dude. LOL! :lol:

Isn't it weird that a browser can restore entire sessions if it crashes but cannot restore a tab you just accidentally closed?

Ha! Ha! Your reply is hilarious (though I wouldn't blame Milind if he's pissed–you were nonsensically rude and for no reason at all).

As for his being my friend, well, that isn't going to change even if I say that he is wrong (which I do, more times than he'd care to admit). But I'm not about to say he's wrong just because someone else will conclude that I have poor language skills if I don't.

Ok now, I just found a problem. In firefox, with arnd 25 addons running, I have firefox taking 75 MB.
Safari which came with the default package and without installing anything else takes 140 MB on windows vista. I am not blaming windows or safari here. I dont want to go down that road. I realize there is a separate thread.
but, I think this may be a little too much for a browser with just 1 tab opened?
Safari does use a lot of RAM. No doubt about that. (But I have 2GB to throw around, so I don't really care as long as it is slick and fast.)

IMO Milind wasn't sarcastic there. I thought exactly the same what Aayush wrote in the post above.

So please chill & enjoy this wonderful forum :)

Okay peace time. Chill it. Have some lime juice or roasted peanuts. The last thing we want is a certain dr coming in here and giving us a 2 day shameful misery thing (hint! hint!) :p

I seriously don't understand how you think it was sarcasm. It really is weird that safari can undo a 'close window' but not a 'close tab'.

Now that you put it that way, it is weird.

Let this be a lesson to us all, communicating properly is essential on the forums!

But I still don't see where I was rude!

nm... let peace prevail *sips lime juice*

Great! It's peace again in here :)

@Milind- Live and let live. Your wally just came in front of my eyes :)

Thank you!

Exactly. And when you misinterpret a clearly worded post (which no one else has a problem with, mind you) and then ignore other people when they try to clear out the confusion for you, it's you who isn't "communicating properly".

But I still don't see where I was rude!
How's this, for instance:
What the **** is wrong with me? Who the **** do you think you are to talk to me in that manner? What gives you that right? That was sarcasm, and you're shi**** me if you claim so otherwise. It's weird that Safari has that feature? Oh, yeah, it's totally, genuinely and non-sarcastically weird, let's call Ripley and ask him to include that.

Don't say Milind started it, because he was within his rights to be annoyed when you started a tirade about a harmless post (in which he was actually accepting weird behaviour of his favourite browser).

nm... let peace prevail *sips lime juice*
I'm all for it, but I think you should have apologised for your mistake. Or, at the very least, accepted it. Instead, you chose to end it with a cautionary note to everyone that we should all communicate properly. Guess what, everyone else was.

I know this whole thing does not concern me much but I just had to set the record straight.

Sorry!

(I hope ring_wraith does not have any hard feelings. My reaction would've been exactly the same had it been gx_saurav in Milind's place. Frankness is better than pretension.)

This is really funny. Everyone is annoyed coz he thinks he is right and the other one just doesn't understand and is cribbing. And to most of them, asking "what the **** is your problem" for a genuine misunderstanding (on ring_wrath's part) with carefully laid words (even though he has misinterpreted what goobimama has told) need not have such a reply.
So quit saying, he had a genuine reason for telling "what the ****", where as you dint... Its not frankness, its being childish and adding gasoline to flame.
Frankness doesn't consist of speaking what you think, its thinking what you speak.
