Font Smoothing
In order to improve the readability of text on your computer, you can select the
font smoothing method that looks best to you under this option.
The smoothing method ClearType is especially interesting. It is designed for
flat screen monitors (TFT and LCD) and makes use of their so-called subpixels
in order to effectively smooth the edges of small fonts. Click ClearType
Settings to adapt these settings to your individual monitor.
