I'm pretty sure that Windows has a setting for it too buried in the graphics card display settings somewhere.
- mstromb 14y agoIt's under "Adjust ClearType text" on the control panel in Windows 7. It's also known as "ClearType Text Tuner." It doesn't specifically ask you to pick your subpixel layout, but rather shows you a bunch of different renderings and asks you to pick the one you think looks best.
- riobard 14y agoUnfortunately vertical subpixel rendering is much less effective than horizontal rendering due to the nature of latin scripts.
