Hi folks,
IT department have not been any help. I've had to install SP3 onto my work computer running XP Pro. It seems to have changed the way the font is displayed in Internet Explorer and in emails in Outlook. It's fine in Firefox (v 4.0) but the slightly blurry look in Outlook is driving me insane. It's like that annoying font you get on Macs and in Linux. I have checked the font settings in Outlook but it claims it's still using Arial size 10.
The closest I can find to the problem is in this thread because the font differences look similar:
Previous sharp font style is on the right and the new blurry style I don't like is on the left.
Any ideas? What is this hardware acceleration malarkey and is it present in XP?
