    i don't know how best to describe this problem. i did some research on here and can't seem to find a solution.

    i just got my dell XPS M140 and i love it! however, the fonts look a little weird, esp on the title bar and on firefox, when i am search on google. it's like the fonts aren't smooth or something. it's not that i want the font bigger or anything, just not as...hmm...jagged?

    anyone know what i am talking about? any ideas what i could do to help fix this issue? thanks in advance.

    what resolution are you running at?

    what is your native resolution?

    what dpi are you set to?

    do you have cleartype enabled?

    sorry: 1280 x 800, 96 dpi... just enabled cleartype.
    that seemed to fix the problem!

    thanks!
