Hey guys,

I don't know where to look for my problem (I'm sure it or something similar was already asked).
So due my movement into a new town I have to use my notebook with Vista for a while instead of my PC with Windows XP.
The Problem is, that with the newer version of MS Paint texts in arial 11 for example are shown smaller and blurred than with the older one.

Maybe someone who had once the same problem can tell me what to do.

Thanks.

You are seeing "ClearType" text in all its horrible awfulness. ;)

Google around for "how to turn off cleartype windows vista" and I'm sure you'll find a guide to restore proper aliased fonts. :)

As a Vista user myself, the best advice I can give you is to use Photoshop for text.

If memory serves, there was a "part sheet" of letters in the forum. These fonts can be copied and pasted in the credits lines of each drawing.
