[QUOTE="dtownley1, post: 274960, member: 20564"] I absolutely agree. I feel the jagged edges on windows text makes it look rather cheap, weak and unpolished. It's my guess that windows just turns antialiasing off. The whole issue of antialiasing really comes into light when you do any kind of design work on macs, where you want your fonts to look smooth on screen, and not horribly (sorry, personal preference there :P) jagged. Anyway, something like this may be what you were looking for. I just did a search for antialiasing at versiontracker.com, and this is what came up. [url]http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macosx/19941[/url] It got mixed reviews, but it may be worth checking out if people prefer the more jagged look ;) I guess a rating of 3/5 warrants a test. Hope this helps! [/QUOTE]
