March 25, 201115 yr I didn't notice any changes to the font. On any of my computers.Your display(s) might handle it better than my £90 TN panel. For me the fonts were overhinted and red-tinged, not to mention blurry. Grabbing comparison screenshots now though. Steam | Soup | Last.fm
March 25, 201115 yr Top: Acceleration enabledBotton: Acceleration disabled Pretty marked difference for me. The weird thing is it's not as horrible as I remember it being, but it still feels out of focus. Steam | Soup | Last.fm
March 25, 201115 yr I don't see much difference between those screenshots, I guess the screenshot doesn't catch it :S.
March 25, 201115 yr It depends if you use cleartype (clearfont?) to smooth out the font. With hardware acceleration on, the font is just white pixels, but with it off it has several blue/red/green ones around it to make it look clearer to the eye. ^this is wrong. For some reason it just makes the font thicker.
March 25, 201115 yr Yeah. I find the top one really hard to read. Supposedly it's an improvement in font rendering but it still doesn't have anything on GNU/Linux and OSX font rendering. It's a new technology for Windows though, so we'll probably see various improvements in the future. Steam | Soup | Last.fm
March 26, 201115 yr From Cracked: The one on the left is Firefox 4, the one on the right is Google Chrome (which had the same font style as Firefox 3).
March 28, 201115 yr Since I'm still running XP Pro, IE9 is not an option. I use Firefox, Opera, Safari and IE8 (but mostly Firefox). PvP is not for meIn the 3rd Year of the BoycottReal-world money saved since FT/W: Hundreds of DollarsReal-world time saved since FT/W: Thousands of Hours
April 4, 201115 yr Seeing as this isn't off the first page, I'll assume it's ok to bump it. Anyhow, Tom's Hardware just compared the two, along with Chrome, Safari and Opera. Link.IE9 won, but they have a little explanation at the bottom for those Firefox types. Sig by me, in MS paint, but I'm still working on it. Suggestions appreciated This guide is as concise as a gourmet's handbook with the guidelines of "Pick up fork, stab food, insert into your mouth, then chew".
April 7, 201115 yr Did IE9 finally add the ability to drag tabs to other windows and highlighted text and images to other programs?
April 7, 201115 yr Did IE9 finally add the ability to drag tabs to other windows and highlighted text and images to other programs? Yes, you can drag tabs to other windows so long as both are not pinned sites. Highlighted text and images to other programs is just using the clipboard as always.
