I'd like to leave cleartype on for most of my applications, but 1 or 2 of them really need it turned off because the characters look horribly fuzzy with it turned on. I'm using Windows 7. Is there any way to specify an application that cleartype should be disabled on?

No, ClearType works on the entire screen at once. You can't turn it on or off per application or per window. You could turn it off altogether while you work with those two programs and then turn it back on, but that is probably just as uncomfortable as it sounds. Instead, you should try to figure out what's wrong with the two programs that look bad. It might be possible to set them to use a different font, or a different "skin". |

This article http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms901093.aspx sais that ClearType can be enabled system-wide or on a per-application basis. This is also something I'm trying to achieve (ClearType per-application). If you find any answers please let us know. |
