IE7 Logo Fonts in Internet Explorer are not displaying as clear as you want (they look blurry)?, it is all because of the ClearType feature of Internet Explorer 7.

I found, the same problem was appearing in Microsoft Frontpage.



What is ClearType?

ClearType is a subpixel rendering technology developed by Microsoft to improve your readability of text over LCD monitors (Such as Laptop screens or Flat Panel Screens). Sometimes ClearType can appear Blurry on CRT monitors. By default ClearType is turned on in Internet Explorer 7.

How to Turn Off ClearType Feature in IE 7?

Following are the steps to turn off/on the ClearType feature.

  • Goto Internet Explorer, click on Tools menu, then select Internet Options.
  • Then goto Advanced tab, scroll down to Multimedia Section.
  • Unmark the Always use Clear Type for HTML option, Click OK.
  • Restart Internet Explorer.
