It doesn’t bother me, rather that than Windows’ hideous, blurry, eyestrain inducing fonts. The only slight quirk I’ve come across is that in some places the separator in file paths gets replaced with a strange w with a line through it. On my display it looks very nice: clean, crisp and sharp with well-defined characters. The bitmap font I use is the Korean Dotum font (no you don’t need to read Korean). ![]() You can do this manually but it’s much safer and easier to use a registry script, which can also do Step One as well so the whole process can be completed with a few clicks of your mouse. Instead you have to go into the Windows Registry (a database of Windows configuration settings) and delete some information so that Windows can’t find its preferred Segoi UI font and then change another registry key to tell it to use your bitmap font instead. You can’t simply choose to use one of these fonts because Windows won’t let you. This is an older font technology to which font smoothing / aa does not get applied. Cleartype cannot be turned off in those places but it is possible to force Windows to not use it by fooling it into using what’s called a bitmap font. Unfortunately, a different type of font smoothing called cleartype will still be applied in control panel, the task bar and task manager and some parts of the file explorer. Step one disables aa in most browsers, some parts of windows, including most of file explorer, most dialogs and many third party apps. Use a registry script, as described below. ![]() You can also find this setting in conrol panel→system and security→system→advanced system settings→performance→settings. In the window that opens click in the box next to ‘smooth edges of screen fonts’ to remove the check mark. Type Win+R keys to open the run dialog and type SystemPropertiesPerformance.exe into the text box and hit enter. Turn off what Windows calls font smoothing. I don’t know what will happen if you try to run the registry scripts below on a different version of Windows. NOTE: The information below only applies to Windows 10.
