I like it everywhere, except for sourcecode. I don't know why :-) Which
font are you using?

There's different levels of anti-aliasing that you can set for different types of display (LCD, CRT) as well as an option to disable anti-aliasing for small fonts (by default, 9pt). Upping this to 12pt will mean that anything 12pt or less doesn't get anti-aliased, and as such, you'll be able to use a font of 12pt or smaller to not see it anti-aliased.

I was afraid of that. Oh well...


Thanks,
