How do i make the text font look similar to that in IE?

The text font with which i have been working on IE is different from the text font used in Firefox. I would like to change my text font settings to the one similar to IE's.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

1. Click Start, click Control Panel, click Appearance and Themes, and then click Display.
2. On the Appearance tab, click Effects.
3. Click to select the Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts check box, and then click ClearType in the list.
Same as Morbus suggested. Do this and the font in Firefox will instantly change as desired.
Its now very easy on the eyes, smooth and looks very good as well.

  • Can anyone help me how I can make these numbers (font) look similar?

    Hi guys
    As you can see the 5 looks different (thicker?) than the 1 and 9 and I'm wondering how I can make this look similar.
    I've been playing around with the eye drop tool and pencil for 2 hours but I can't see the logic in how to fix this issue.
    Hopefully someone can explain me how I can solve this problem.
    Thanks already!

    As R_Kelly said, it might be best to just rewrite the numbers. I found that 15pt Tahoma was very similar:
    Hope this helps!

  • When I print a webpage from FF how can I make the text and images bigger?

    I am trying to print an eticket for a flight. The text on the schedule comes out too small and the UPC symbol's black lines look ganged together. I know I can view it zoomed up, but how do I make the text and images stay zoomed so they will print out that way?

    I upgraded but the problem remains. At least with Firefox I do have the option to print a selection even if it mangles the top and bottom lines. With Safari or Chrome I have no option to print a selection. At the moment the only way to get a complete copy of the selection is to copy to openoffice etc and print from there.

  • How do I make the text in iTunes a lot larger?

    How do I make the text in iTunes a lot larger?

    I use an old iTunes. Check if there is something in iTunes preferences, but I doubt there is.  You may have to simply use something such as Universal Access preferences to zoom your whole screen.  I do recall coming across a reference for a hack to edit iTunes fonts in the application itself but if you enlarge the font as opposed to simply tweaking it slightly with a very similar one you are likely to really mess up iTunes display since the rest of the application won't have been designed with scaled up fonts in mind.
    I can also personally recommend reading glasses.

    Thank you so much.  You are absolutely right.  I will have to reduce the screen density when I work with those programs.

  • This is probably a dumb question, but I can't find an answer. How do I make the text on my calendar larger so I can actually read it when I print it out?

    This is probably a dumb question, but I can't find an answer. How do I make the text on my calendar larger so I can actually read it when I print it out? I am using a MacBook.

    Press "Command P" and when the Print dialogue box comes up, towards the bottom there is an option allowing you to choose the text size, i.e: small, med, large.
    Hope this helps,

  • How can i make the text go vertically in numbers

    How can I make the text vertical in numbers?  I have merged the cells and cannot find an option for making it go vertical as opposed to horizontal.

    déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
    <VolumeDeDémarrage>:Utilisateurs:<votreCompte>:Bibliothèque:Scripts:Applications :Numbers:
    Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
    Saisir dans une cellule le mot à écrire verticalement puis le sélectionner.
    ATTENTION, il ne faut pas sélectionner la cellule mais le mot qui doit apparaitre surligné.
    Aller au menu Scripts , choisir Numbers puis choisir “write_vertically”
    Le script colle dans la cellule le mot apès avoir inséré un return entre tous les caractères.
    Pour mon usage personnel j'associe un raccourci à ce script grace à FastScripts.

  • How can I make the text crisper and less blurry on my MacBook Pro?

    I just purchased my first MacBook Pro, and I absolutely love it, save for one potential deal breaker: The text displays blurry. Instead of stark, black on white text, there is a slight halo of grey (or whatever color the font is in) around every character. It makes the text look nice, but much harder to read. The characters are deliberately out of focus. Apparently this is normal, according to this article: http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/businesstechnology/2015823073_ptmrsh06.htm l
    Is there a way to fix (or work around) this? As a writer, I cannot type for eight hours a day on a computer that "softens" the text. I have tried adjusting my screen resolution (it's at the highest possible) and turning off "font-smoothing" (it's off). Nothing works. I called Apple support and they couldn't help me either. I can't believe there's not an easy fix for this.

    Humor me.
    Let's revisit the things you did, because they -should- have fixed the problems.
    !) to set screen resolution, you MUST use:
    System Preferences > Displays ...
    Use of the MenuBar item simply shows the last three chosen, not all available.
    And what is the screen resolution you are using now? 13" 15" or 17" display? Do you have the default glossy screen or the enhanced matte display?
    2) font smoothing.
    System Preferences > Appearance.
    I see no OFF. I see a checkbox to default to LCD smoothing, and I see   "turn off font smoothing for characters smaller than nn point", where nn is 4 to 12.
    How do you have these set?

  • How do I make the text larger on my desktop?

    I want to enlarge to text/font size on my desktop (and in my e-mail and applications, etc - the default) without losing crispness/clarity/focus. I'm sure it is a simple setting, but I can't find it and my font is tiny! I have found other ways to zoom in, etc, but it looks bad and out-of-focus.

    For the Finder.
    Click on the Desktop, go to the top menu bar View Menu, select Show View Options, make the Text Size option the size you require, close the menu box.
    For Mail.
    Go to Mail/Preferences, click Fonts& Colors, change the options to the Fonts and sizes required, close the preference box.
    Other Applications.
    Follow the Preferences link and select accordingly
