[QUOTE="xstep, post: 274685, member: 11647"] In the Appearance tab in Preferences at the bottom (10.4.8) there is an option to choose when smoothing is disabled based on font size. It is called "Turn off text smoothing for font sizes <4,6,8,9,10,12> and smaller. Set it to the biggest number. Perhaps there is a tweak type tool out there that would allow you to set it to a higher value. I also suggest you try setting Font Smooting style to Light. Now as far as which is the the better result out of the three you have presented, that really is a matter of personal preference. I've always considered the Windows result ugly. That sharpness you're want bothers me for many things because the jaggies anoy me. [/QUOTE]
