Hey guys. I have a quick question about Google Chrome... is there a way to tell Chrome to apply anti-aliasing to text? I quickly realized Chrome is not using AA on text, and it makes reading a little harder on the eyes.

So, anyone know a way to turn AA back on?

Well thats definitely Anti-Aliasing.... but its not very good... I'll see if I can tweak the font settings to make it work better. If not, I may look around some more.

I'm used to the AA that IE7/8 uses, which is very smooth without looking blurry.

Running XP with SP3.

Hmm, shame that Chrome doesn't apply AA by default... then I'd have absolutely no reason to use another browser. lol.

I found the solution. I had to install the Cleartype Tuner from Microsoft. That changes type in a lot of other stuff as well. So much smoother. 

I agree that Chrome does not use AA because whenever I used it I felt eye ache. Therefore, I generally opt for Mizilla Firefox generally.

You can easily fix it in XP as I just discovered. Install this: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/ClearTypePowerToy.mspx

Chrome uses it too once you install it. Its a VERY smooth AA.
