Tip 1 - Smoothing Out the Fonts

Today we launch the new blog concept for AWA. These posts will start including tips that may improve your computer and web experience.

For today's I will tell you about a little trick to change the font style to make things a bit more eye friendly. This is not for everyone, but I thing it helps a lot.

Some people have mentioned that web pages are easier to read in Inernet Explorer than with other browsers. Well, turns out this is a windows XP feature available for all programs.

If you right click on your desktop and bring up Display Properties box (or open it from control panel or run - 'desk.cpl'). Go to the Appearance tab, click on Effects and change the "Use the following method to smooth edges.." to Clear Type.

Try it, see what you think, and if you prefer to have the crisp looking text change it back to Standard.

Leave a comment and let me know which way you prefer.

Peace,
