Again, looking at this on an LCD will not really show the difference as great as seeing it on a CRT.Įdit: Aero Theme (Fixed) now outdated. If you look at the picture below, it is with Cleartype off (which is needed on CRT's), and with the before and after pictures. Plus, the pictures do not really do justice. You would even have to be on a CRT to see the difference in the screen captures really, because the Segoe pics on a LCD may look OK. it must have been a "decision".īut then again, sometimes the obvious is not really obvious, and you may be right, that trying to get Microsoft's attention on this could help. It is so obvious, that it could not be an ommission. How on earth could this have slipped into Vista.
That is one reason I am so negative on Microsoft on this. it is huge, actually enough that it would produce eye-strain for many in my believe. And yes, you would really need to look using a good CRT, and the difference is more than minimal. The screen caps show Segoe UI without cleartype, and Arial without cleartype. Try to send a complaint to MS with your trouble clearly stated.

It have to choose a compromising scheme on a vast pc spec scale. I don't think it's ms' fault to decide to use Segoe as Vista's default font. you can spot such difference on many LCDs. Your screen-shots have just shown the diff between ClearType ON and ClearType OFF, but that's normal to every display.
But u should get aware of the fact that clear-type is developed for LCD, cuz CRT wouldn't produce a obvious jaggy edge line like on LCD. MS designed Segoe for getting the utmost efx with clear-type turned on. I have not seen the affect of aliased (aka, without clear-Type tech) Segoe font. That case is not frequently happening, but it indeed exists: some internal parameters controling the font display fail to get restored and then the situation is even worse! You may also exp truncated or even overlapped font display after you THOUGHT you have undone your changes to default font. and the Vista designers were definately not programming on CRT's. But I suspect new flat technology will improve LCD's even more.īut anyway, when you work in front of your computer, sometimes 10 hours a day, you need the least discomfort from your monitor. The biggest problem with LCD's (or for me the only problem), is that you are technically trapped in a native resolution.

I wonder what the professional graphics industry is going to use when CRT's dissapear. Yes, you can hardly find CRT's, and the one I have (NEC Accusync 120) is one of the last still on the market. Did CRT's dissapear last year? The new CRT I have now replaced one that was 8 years old and still worked very well. At least it is so easy to switch back and forth if needed.īut I have to say that what Microsoft left us with (for us CRT users and for some LCD users), was definately not well thought out. So here is hoping that Arial used will be OK. But Arial used in replacement, with Tahoma everywhere else, gives me pretty close to what I had with XP, and I have yet to see any problems so far. (EDIT: it was mentioned in his Google+ post about the font: "We also wanted to include tabular figures (numbers that are all the same width) so we could display times, dates and other counters without having the characters jump around.Yes, there could be a strange effect, such as a truncating if your font selections profile is wider than Segoe UI, and there is a program specifically designed to use Segoe UI with fixed font labels. It's kind of ironic because I vaguely recall Matias Duarte mentioning the tabular figures of Roboto being one of it's pros when he first announced it, but then they just threw that out the window when they changed the font later on lol. Certain apps actually use the tabular variant of Google Sans correctly (the clock and calculator apps for example you can tell by the bottom serif in the number '1'), but this isn't the default form in the rest of the UI.
The problem isn't that they're not allocating extra space, it's that Google Sans uses "proportional" numerals instead of "tabular" figures by default (explained here) so instead of each numeral taking up the same width, they're all different widths and you get this problem that you describe when the font is used in clocks/timers/etc.
