So in short, "my hyper cool LCD monitor of one crappy res looks crappy, so I'll waste cycles to draw some cool text as i'm a lazy fuck and cant bother to add
BOLD or just increase
TEXTSIZE"
Really.. if you cant read it, get a better monitor and/or change the resolution, and/or change the font bold type, and/or change the font size..
Go go hypewords!

Ahhh Z!re. Z!re Z!re Z!re.
- Just because we want to make the fonts look nicer doesnt mean we cant read them.
- Even if I was to want to change the font size... you cant change the size of font everywhere... The same applies to making it bold.
Just because you dont have XP. Jealous!

Neither bold nor bigger looks as good as Cleartype
You can't see the difference as much on a non-LCD, but it is still obvious that cleartype looks way better than bold or bigger...
:roll:

Bwahaha...
I took a screencapture of it, and there's NO difference between my smoothed font and the "clearype" font, infact, the cleartype is harder to read..
Ofcourse, I'm not on a flatscreen, and im on 1280x1024x32bit

Thus... Our displays pwn yours :P
(as technically we have triple the horizontal font res)
