ClearTypeFont : MS Sans Serif VS Microsoft Sans Serif

[bl00dlust]

Just a simple recomendation.

If you install "ClearTypeTuner setup.exe" from the microsoft web page set your default font to "MS Sans Serif" as the "Microsoft Sans Serif" really looks like crap.

Maybe TC should set the default font to the "MS Sans Serif" for new ini files.

If any1 doesn't know what the cleartypefont is, goto http://groups.msn.com/WindowsSupport/tipstweaks.msnw?action=get_message&mview=0&ID_Message=3169&LastModified=4675527015255287209 and check it out, will be worth ur time. All my PCs have this installed now.

"MS Sans Serif" doesn't support unicode while "Microsoft Sans Serif" does.
Furthermore "Microsoft Sans Serif" is a Truetype Font and can be smoothly resized, while "MS Sans Serif" is a bitmap based font.
Due to this facts the default is "Microsoft Sans Serif"

If you use "MS Sans Serif", you will never be able to display unicode characters ...

That could be why it looks so crap when u install the cleartyp, cause its double cleartyping it or something, thanx.

Still, try that installer and see the difference it makes to ur PC.

Hello !

If you use "MS Sans Serif", you will never be able to display unicode characters ...

… or simply to write neither “œuvre” or “œuf” in French nor the very useful art-guillemots enclosing these words here, since 29 upper ANSI characters are missing in that damned font I fight against for years !
- Thanks to support a complete font !
