Default [Fixed] Just a minor problem.

I installed IE 7 beta, and when I started it up, it showed something about there being probelms with the settings or something, it then had an option for it to fix them, so I done that.

When it fixed them, it changed all the fonts in the browser only to that clear type kinda thing.

Now, I know if you goto the control panel > appearences and themes > display > effects you can switch between standard and cleartype for the fonts, but this doesn't fix it because its only in the browsers and not the whole computer.

Anyone know how to change the font type to standard?

As I said, it's not a problem really, I just find it kinda hard to read and annoying.

Lightbulb Different font maybe?

Hey Ryan

Have you tried chaging the font in IE:
Tools>Internet Options>General(Tab)>Fonts(Button)
To see if it makes any difference?

Hey...

Nope, that doesn't fix it, unfortunatly. If some people dont understand what I mean by cleartype, just tell me and I'll take a screenshot.

Lightbulb Hopefully this will work!

No no I know what you mean...

"Regardless of your system settings, IE 7 uses cleartype. To turn it off, you must go to your internet options, go to the advanced tab, scroll down to multimedia and uncheck cleartype. Then close all instances of IE and it should be gone."
(From one of the IE 7 Setup techs at MSDN)

Can you let me know if this has changed it so as I can marked this as "Answered"

Cheers
Grom
