The UI font in Windows Vista is Segoe UI which looks anti-aliased whether you ahve system wide clear type enabled or not. I use standard smoothing but still all the text of icons, Menus, notifications are Segoe UI & Anti-aliased. We don't need font smoothing on clear type in Vista for CRT Monitor.

For LCD monitor, it is advised to turn on Clear type which further enhances how Segoe UI looks on an LCD Monitor for the UI.

For IE 7, you can set individually clear type for web pages. I don't like it so I have it disabled. On a LCD Monitor, I do use it .

Have a look at this screen shot. I have "Standard" font smoothing enabled but still segoe UI font is not aliased. Who needs it? I increased the font size for icons to make it look distinguishable in the screen shot.

LCD thingy needs something called sub-pixel rendering- there may be some option in prominent OS's to enable that!

Although this thread is not about Vista, but Cleartype provides sub-pixel rendering by default when Vista is installed with cleartype atuomatically enabled.

On a CRT Monitor, it is not required due to Segoe UI font used in the UI. I disabled it.

On LCD Monitor, it is already there by default on installation

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

since its directed at everyone which includes me! i'm replying here... i jus mentioned about this particular case and haf not blamed MS for it.

anyways, guys sorry for my post. no more off topic posts from my side

I usually respect your intelligence but I do believe this post and the previous one were very silly. You were trying to reason with, of all people, gx_saurav! What's wrong with you?



OK, there is this one bug in Mail that never ceases to annoy the Hell out of me. When you drag an email address onto Mail's icon, it creates a new message with the email address in the body of the mail. WTH! Shouldn't it create a new message addressed to that email address!

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

I hope divX support in hacked iPhone touch is not far away. Just let us install Perian on it cos its Mac OS X after all & the ability to use it without iTunes & this will be my prefered PMP.

Oh well....I won't say anything about W960i in this thread though

Arey i meant that to infra and anand.. Btw yea w960 ftw

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

Well for one, you get an 8GB iPhone minus phone for $300. The iPhone is a whole $100 away.

Secondly, you are LEGALLY required to sign up to a contract, which brings the actual price of the iPhone to somewhere around $1800.

Thirdly, its the first multi-touch display (by apple at least) shipped outside of the US.

dunno buddy, i'm not buying it. my fren is. and thats why i'm suprised too (as i said abt him in my earlier post).

but ppl here in india are obviously more excited about ipod touch coz that'll be here sooner than the iphone. thats what i believe.

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

When you order an iPhone online, Apple actually sends you an email titled, "Your iPhone is coming. Time to get ready."

How cool is that! Who comes up with these ideas! Philly?
