    Hey Guys!

    I have a problem where all my text are blurry and It hurts the eyes to look or read them, is there a way I can revert to my previous font? It looks like my using an 8bit displayed computer!!

    Resolution 1680 x 1050
    Latest GPU Driver
    OS: Vista

    I've uploaded a picture, I hope the the quality isnt decreased to much that you cannot make it out.

    Just a word of advice, if I was you I would not be posting images of your illegal downloads onto a public forum.

    Oh, and go to Window Color and Appearance, Open classic properties, Then effects, then adjust the font smoothing options until you are happy.

    On my Dell 2408 I have to switch off the smoothing to be happy with the results, with my other monitors I've always been happier with the Standard smoothing on

    Is that the default system font for 7?

    If not then I would change it back. If not then as jenny says you need to play with font smoothing, or cleartype if that still exists (or is the same thing) on windows 7.

    Also not to nitpick but when googling, I don't think "why is my system font all ****ed up" is a good search :p

    Looks like Vista with a Windows 7 skin TBH.

    Have you tried turning off cleartype?

    Ugh... I've been trying for about an hour now and it still looks like an 8 bit display. Yes it a Windows 7 visual theme for Vista. I even tried changing the theme and the fonts are still the same, I rally would hate having to do a complete system reformat.
