Take a good look at your RAM, or overheating caused by working on a surface that does not allow decent air flow.<BR/><BR/>Good luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13296248.post-1159632030540607002006-09-30T09:00:00.000-07:002006-09-30T09:00:00.000-07:00Typical Microsoft worker! :PTypical Microsoft worker! :PAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13296248.post-1159230724516839512006-09-25T17:32:00.000-07:002006-09-25T17:32:00.000-07:00I much prefer Cleartype myself even though I don't...I much prefer Cleartype myself even though I don't like XP at all and love OS X.

First think I did was a software update, followed by the developer tools... I left the system running over night as a few ports (darwin ports) where being built. The next morning the system had crashed (missing airport & clock icon in the menu bar). After this type of crash all reboots lack a wireless connection... all other reboots have a functional wireless conictivity...<BR/><BR/>Then again since buying my i(ntel)Mac I've always had issues with AirPort working as expected (this, before not being able to wake up for sleep if the Aiport was on as I put the system to sleep, then no airport functionality after sleep).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13296248.post-1158377306730929872006-09-15T20:28:00.000-07:002006-09-15T20:28:00.000-07:00Fontti-intoilija, great comment.

Perhaps Apple tunes for their standard fonts and LCD screens since at least for iMacs and laptops and Cinema displays, they are known quantities. It's interesting to me that you compare Quartz to ClearType. I always thought that ClearType was more specific to subpixel smoothing, rather than a whole graphics framework. Either way, thanks for the well written comment.David Weisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00629153569649264575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13296248.post-1158274283471286682006-09-14T15:51:00.000-07:002006-09-14T15:51:00.000-07:00I think it's a matter of preference and of what yo...I think it's a matter of preference and of what your ultimate goal with on-screen fonts is when you try to decide on 'the best' anti-aliasing method.<BR/><BR/>imho. ClearType provides for better likeness of on-screen fonts to their printed kin while the Mac OS X font rendering engine provides for better on-screen readability.<BR/><BR/>there are some really nice samples in <A HREF="http://www.xvsxp.com/system/fonts_view.php" REL="nofollow">this article</A>.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13296248.post-1158216278797772252006-09-13T23:44:00.000-07:002006-09-13T23:44:00.000-07:00If by better you mean "add lots of funky colors to...If by better you mean "add lots of funky colors to black text on white background" then ClearType is really better.
