Here is a very simple little tweak that you can do to get better looking fonts in Windows XP.

• Right click on the desktop anywhere and pick Properties.
• Then click on the Appearence tab.
• On the lower right-hand side, you will see a button called Effects… Click on it to bring up the effects dialogue box.
• Then, under the heading “Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts:”, make sure you have Clear Type selected and the associated check box checked.

Now you should have nice smooth anti-aliased fonts on your screen instead of jaggy fonts.
