I'm using Windows XP. I recently switched my browser to Firefox (LOVED the easy download and simple homepage format and the clear Getting Started instructions!). However, I notice that the typeface or print of text is not as sharp in Firefox as it is when I use Internet Explorer 8. Is there any way to fix this?

Thanks. Paul

You can enable ClearType system wide for all programs to make other programs like Firefox use it.
