outlook 2007 DEFAULT font

[Roady [MVP]]

And I didn't gave up; I went to bed as I was too tired trying to come up
with something else.

Also note the :-D at the end of my comment. I have dealt with HP montiors
for a long long time.

Wow - I like how you want to blame it on the Monitor. By the way my
issue is
the same on a Samsung 19" LCD... I was able to resolve my issue which
did not
require me to delete the SEGOE font. Due to how you gave up on my issue,
i
will NOT post the fix, which was software related and not LCD related...

I've been biting my tongue not to share my view on HP monitors :-D

Looks the same on a HP 9440 17" LCD notebook screen. I have tried
Office
2007
out on different machines with different LCD's (HP 1904, 1925, 2025,
2035
and
2065). I have not tried it out on a normal CRT monitor, I will try
that out.

:

The ClearType setting in Word? Do you have another TFT screen you
can test
it on?

I have tried enabling and disabling cleartype with no real change

Here is a picture between the main window and how clear the Tools

:

In default dpi settings? I'm running the same monitor
configuration
but
then
on a Samsung 204B. The font looks really sharp for me. Are you
connected
by
DVI or VGA connector? VGA needs some configuring for optimum
results.
Also
make sure you have the latest drivers installed.

Note that Office 2007 is still in BETA and the same goes for the
fonts.
If
you upgraded from a previous Office 2007 the fonts in some cases
didn't
get
upgraded. In that case you'll have to delete the Fonts manually
and do
a
repair on Office from the CD.

I have an HP LCD 2065 using 1600x1200 @ 60hz. EVERYTHING else
looks ok
except
for the new Office applications. I also tried a HP LCD 2035 and
Vista
and
they offer no improvements. I have played with the windows
"cleartype"
and
"standard" and the only way to make it look any better is to use
"standard".

Any suggestions?

:

What kind of monitor are you using with what type of
resolution?

As with most other programs; program fonts can't be changed.
Some
can
be
changed through Windows Appearance settings.

I absolutely loathe the font being used for Outlook 2007.
Whatever
font is
being used makes Outlook 2007 look like it is using some form
of
cleartype
that can not be turned off. I changed all the fonts that I
could
find
in
Outlook to Arial 11 but can not change the font for the list
of
email
messages and the folder lists. I have it changed for
editing/viewing
of
email
messages themselves but not for the overall program. Please
tell me
there
is
a way to change the font for outlook 2007!!! I am using
Windows XP
and
it
looks bad, it looks even worse on Vista, even with cleartype
turned
off.
Tools -> Options -> Mail Format -> Stationary and Fonts -
changed!
Tools -> Options -> Mail Format -> Editor options - removed
the
checkbox
for
"Always use Cleartype" - changed - still does not help

Please, i am begging here
