Font's too blurry and dark

Hello-

I've noticed on my MBP, the fonts are dark and slightly blurry - the ClearType is apparently overantialiasing them. Is there a way to adjust this, like the control panel applet that exists in Windows?

Thanks.

Fonts in which application? Throughout OS X?

Go to prefs > appearance and try the antialiasing options.

Also make sure your display is calibrated correctly in prefs > displays >color.

Gist: Macs display fonts like they appear on paper; Windows alters fonts to fit the screen better.

You might also wish to look at the Font Rendering section of my "Linux to Mac Switcher's Guide". This goes through the same topic and gives full size examples of a single web page rendered in the same browser (Firefox was used) under each of Mac OS X, Linux and Windows XP.
