Windows XP and ClearType

[Bill]

With browsers with Windows XP, is ClearType only displayed in Internet Explorer, or will
ClearType fonts be seen using Firefox & other browsers as well?

 

[Larry Samuels]

ClearType is a system-wide setting. All apps use it.

Clear Type applies to any Windows display.

Microsoft states, "With Windows XP, ClearType delivers improved font display resolution over
traditional anti-aliasing. It improves readability on color LCD monitors with a digital
interface, such as those in laptops and high-quality flat desktop displays. Readability on CRT
screens can also be somewhat improved."
