Post by: Anonlmul on November 28, 2013, 12:18:00 pm

I've seen that some friends of mine have the chat font sharp and thin like this:(http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/150x100q90/c/577/tkpt.png) (http://imageshack.com/i/g1tkptp)

And I have the chat font not so sharp and thick:(http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/150x100q90/c/268/sfwh.png) (http://imageshack.com/i/7gsfwhp)

How to do it to have it like theirs?I mean how to sharpen the font?Does it depend on the monitor or something?

I remember that someone said something about the Windows version. (Thijn maybe ?!)
Btw, it may be the cause because (as I know) some Windows versions have another Arial version. (a modded one ?)

It happened to me too, but then I found a way to solve it.
If you're using Windows XP, do the following:

Go to: Control Panel --> Date, Time, Language and Regional Options --> Regional and Language Options --> Advanced (tab) --> English (United States)

If you wanna have thin font, just change it from "English (United States)" to any foreign language.
