Fonts look different in EI 7…

Why do my fonts (arial) look different in IE7? Does it have to do with using sizes other than pt, like px?

@JRoCauthorMar 29.2007 — Helps to do alittle more research before posting. I found that IE7 has changed text rendering to use ClearType. Here is a great article that explains the change.

@ZnupiMar 29.2007 — Yes the "all new" IE7 screws up everything with its ClearType font smoothing... which to me seems tooo blurry and gives me a headache. The stupid thing is, Yahoo! Messenger probably uses IE-snippets to render IM windows and when I first installed IE7, my IM windows were all screwed up! :mad:... The way to do it is go to Internet Options -> Advanced and disable "Always use ClearType for displaying webpages" or something like that... God I hate M$ :mad:

Success!
