#Autocad fonts are jagged windows 10
Granted, it’s a non-standard device (I run Windows 10 on any of several virtual machines), but that shouldn’t have made a difference. I have no idea why ClearType wasn’t enabled on my device. (I did have to close and re-open my browser for the changes to take effect within it.) Why wasn’t it on? I checked the box, zipped through the rest of the wizard, and lo and behold, all of a sudden my text was clear and crisp. In my case, the problem was obvious, and clearly not minor. This will bring up a short wizard that will allow you to make minor adjustments to how ClearType displays text on your machine. Click on “Adjust ClearType text” when it appears in the search results. It’s designed to improve even minor issues in typeface display to make what you see on the screen more readable.Ĭlick on the Start menu and type “ClearType”. Actually, it’s supposed to do much, much more than something this obvious. Fixing ClearTypeĬlearType, Microsoft’s font display technology, is supposed to solve exactly this problem. The difference is quite noticeable, at least to me.
Compare that to the text re-displayed after I fixed the problem. To understand what I’m talking about, here’s a screenshot of some text on Ask Leo! showing the problem. Turns out that was exactly right, except maybe for the “obvious” part. There were two problems with that: first, sometimes I need to run at a resolution other than the native one, and second, even when set properly, I’d still run into the issue.Īnd perhaps most frustrating of all: I knew it doesn’t have to be like this. I did discover that it was useful to set my display to its recommended or native resolution. They’re jagged and ugly and not the smooth presentation we’ve come to expect on modern machines. There are times when the fonts in Windows 10 just look … well, they look crummy, for lack of a better term. This is something that’s been bugging me for months.
