Make Firefox show fonts nicely as Internet Explorers

Posted by Alec on Tue, 14 Jul 2009, in Browsers   

I found something very interesting to know this morning, that is Firefox's always shown fonts in web page a little differently than IE browsers. IE tends to show fonts more smooth and nice. There's actually a way to change the settings so that Firefox could show fonts and lines more nicely like Internet Explorer. To do that,

1. Right click on Desktop and Go Properties
2. Go to Appearance tab, click on Effects
3. Notice the checked line, use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts, make sure you choose ClearType instead of Standard.

Try again and Firefox now shows fonts nicely as IE!
