Enable Font Smoothing (All Windows)
Category: Home > Windows > Appearance > Fonts and Icons
This setting controls whether fonts are anti-aliased to appear smoother when displayed within Windows.
Open your registry and find the key below.
Create a new string value, or modify the existing value, called "FontSmoothing" and set it to "2" to enable font smoothing or "0" to disable it.
Log off or restart Windows for the change to take effect.
Note: Font smoothing is only effective when using high color video modes.
