[QUOTE="dirtydog, post: 76704"] I'm using a CRT monitor for both. Font smoothing settings in OS X are set to CRT. Cleartype in Windows looks perfectly good on a CRT to my eyes - it's a good sharp CRT monitor. The screenshot of yours is much clearer than mine; can I ask if that font is Helvetica, or have you got Verdana installed on your system? Also is that the regular size in Safari or have you increased it? (ie. in Safari preferences, said not to use fonts below a certain size). I will try Medium-LCD and see if it looks any better. Your screenshot is a lot clearer obviously. [/QUOTE]
