Hi there smallcompany,

"I also found a lot of end users complaining about this, including IE9 where ClearType cannot be set."

"ClearType" is a user setting for the "Windows OS" and, as such, may be turned on or off.

To find it and make adjustments...

1. click "Start".
   
2. in "Search programs and files" type "ClearType Text Tuner".
   
3. click on the option displayed above.
   
4. uncheck "Turn on ClearType" or ....
   
5. click "Next" to fine tune it.
   
6. have a beer to celebrate. ;)
