On my computer, this thing works everywhere, except for the toolbars of the Mozilla programs (Firefox, SeaMonkey, etc.) Is there any way to get Cleartype on in those places?

Perhaps you just need to experiment with the pixel order setting. For me, Jaunty has the best font anti-aliasing I have ever seen.

This way indeed improved the font display effect. But the font render engine is not cleartype

Thanks,
but it still seems to me that it’s not as perfect as windows cleartype smoothing, specially in smaller sizes, am I doing anything wrong?

I have do the setting but it still haven’t font smoothing effect. Should I need to set any other setting?

Thanks very much for this tip!

I’m on 8.04 right now and this was the first thing I wondered about. Googled and came across this page.

Thanks!
