Messy font on VW7.7 -- WinXP ???

Dennis smith-4
I just installed VW7.7 and the default fonts are broken, uneven and very
difficult to read.
I assume there is something to do to fix this??  VW7.6 is fine.

Can you send a screenshot? Admittedly I'm on Win 7 most of the time, I fired up the image on XP today and it seemed fine...

Fine for me here. The only problem is the underline for the quick access
characters on menu items is one pixel too low.

Do you mean the menu bar font (#system), and/or the font used in the
Transcript (#default)? Check which font is actually being used for
those.

I just installed it and opened "visual.im" -- so Transacript and Workspace.
Browser shows the same.

I don't have it here at the office - I will look a bit more and send details
when I get home.

Resolved -- in "Appearence" - "Effects ..."  I had turned off
    Use the following method to smooth edges of screen font  [ClearType]

I don't know why it was off, but it was not off on my office PC, so I
turned it
ON at home -- problem solved.
