- anon4 11y agoWhen Microsoft fixes subpixel smoothing to not introduce colour fringing, then maybe. But I'm not going to hold my breath. Edit: and yes, I can see it here: http://img.usabilitypost.com.s3.amazonaws.com/1211/antialiased.png http://img.usabilitypost.com.s3.amazonaws.com/1211/antialias... in the screenshot of the article saying not to "fix" broken text rendering. Red on the left, blue on the right, clear as day - it's absolutely atrocious. I want monochrome text, not clown text.
