I bought a new laptop and it came with Vista which hates pretty much everything older than 3 months.
Anyone else have it? Anyone else notice that the type faces look squiggy and jaggy vs the non-Vista stuff? I've a graphics background and I like nice clean type and this is irking me. I mostly use Arial but every other type does the off-kilter look too.
I've hit every tech board, MS site, and left sacrifices on various cyber altars to no avail. I've DLed the so-called true-type fixes, uh huh, nada.
I've tried Open Office--which looked even worse, leading and kerning are very bad there, MS Office '07 -don't get me started, gag.
Yes, I'm picky, I'm anal retentive, and I'm going through menopause so I may be a tad sensitive to how things look but not too much--in our home ,cat hair is a condiment.
Thanks ahead of time for any pointers, commiseration, et al.
