Both have fuzzy fonts in the documents AND file names in book files, text boxes, menus etc. I also noted that when I open a pdf in IE 11 the text is crystal sharp. But if I save this file and open it in Acrobat X, the fonts are fuzzy. Text in Office 2013 is sharp. So it seems the fonts are interpreted differently in different programs. I remember in XP there could be an issue with blurry fonts that was cleared by going to Display Properties -> Appearance -> Effects and then unchecking the top 2 boxes (transition effects and smooth edges). Any ideas how to change the settings in W8? I tried to uncheck “smooth edges of screen fonts” under performance options, but this had no effect. On my previous W7, the fonts in FM turned sharp when I selected “Adjust for best performance”, but then the whole display of Windows changes.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Thanks,<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Ragnar Hanas<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Uddevalla Hospital<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Sweden<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
