Window's Vista has some weird font issues. Notably, it uses all kinds of different fonts, including fonts from Windows 3.1.
I came across a
post on how to fix Vista font rendering issues. It's a simple registry hack. Simply download the .reg file. Run it and restart.
You'll notice right away that many web pages look much better. In fact, this fix maps many crappy fonts to the new improved Segoe (see-go) font.
I'm still getting used to Vista. The look is sometimes cartoonish and I'm not sure it's a change for the better. However, some part of me likes using Vista.
I find myself liking the Vista machine more and more as I use it. My machines at work are using XP for the time being. Not much I can do about that. But my home machine is running Vista with no problems.
I've been gaming and coding on it and so far it's been the most stable Windows I've used yet.
I'm not really sure what all the negative publicity is all about. Maybe I'll run into a real problem sooner or later but so far, so good.
