Hello Freebay,

I am not quite sure what you are asking for. Based on
  http://www.microsoft.com/typography/WhatIsClearType.mspx
ClearType is enabled only on LCD displays (such as a laptop) and only
on specific versions of Microsoft Windows. So when I visit your page
with a CRT / Linux system, ClearType will not be used. There may also
be users who want to view your site with larger letters and avoid the
need for subpixel addressing performed by ClearType (or have disabled
it for other reasons).

What are you trying to do (or what problem needs to be solved) with your web site?

Yes you do know what I am asking for... I didn't think of those things
you have mentioned such as linux ect. Based on my computer ClearType
is enabled and working on Xp, you maye have this question.
When you respond.. maybe you could tell me a way for anything?,
because viewing  www . The Free Bay . com  without cleartype is
$hi++y.
I'll give you poz as soon as you respond.

Thanx for the help.

Hello again!

Rather than attempt to force viewers' computers to adhere to a certain
display characteristic (which is bound to fail, in most cases),
programming your site to look good on the majority of computer users'
computers is a much better choice. This would mean programming for
best appearance on RGB monitors via Windows XP, 2000, and 98 and
Internet Explorer version 5 or 6.

Best Wishes,

ace
