    Do U folks out there know that Win7 use diffrent ClearType engine than was used in XP and Vista? From what I see it is better on some monitors and worse on others :(

    But U can make CT fonts in Win7 look like in XP/Vista using Powetoys Cleartype Tuner for XP (ignore incompatibility warning) :-)
