MakeUglyAplFontNice

If you find that in particular the small sizes of your preferred APL Unicode font look very ugly indeed in a browser (any browser that is) there is something you can do.

Follow these steps which are taken from XP:

  1. Open "Start > Setting > Control Panel"

  2. Select "Display"
  3. Select Tab "Appearance"
  4. Click button "Effects"

  5. From the selection box underneath "Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts:" select "ClearType"

  6. Click OK and OK
  7. Press F5 if you are already looking at a page with APL chars.
