Internet Explorer 7 Misc

Webpage Text Appears Jagged

SUMMARY: If text contained in browsed pages inside Internet Explorer 7 appears jagged, try this tweak.


 

Due to configuration issues, some Internet Explorer 7 users have reported webpage text appearing jagged. This may occur because ClearType, a font smoothing feature, has been disabled.

To turn on ClearType for smoother-rendering text, try the following:

1. Click on the "Tools" button in the toolbar, selecting "Internet Options".

2. When the "Internet Options" dialog box appears, select the "Advanced" tab.

3. Scroll down to the "Multimedia" section and check "Always use ClearType for HTML".

4. Click "OK" to close the dialog boxes.
