Just installed for Outlook. Works great (thanks!) BUT fonts look bad (thin and pixelated)...

Any way to improve the fonts? Or know that I have the right fonts installed? I can post a screenshot somewhere if it helps.

I think I'm looking for a way to enable ClearType for my Windows apps. Is that possible?

Hello,

There isn't really a way to enable ClearType fonts on the windows apps, unfortunately. Shaky fonts can be an issue with Crossover, depending on your setup. What version of Outlook/Crossover/Operating system are you using? Did the Core Fonts install successfully in the bottle? To check, go to manage your bottles, and look up the installed applications.

Hi,

You can see below how it looks for me. It's not just that cleartype isn't enabled.. as you can see the 'w' and 'x' characters are squished up. There are other font anomalies, but these are the most apparent.

I'm on a winxp bottle with Core Fonts installed.

That's strange.... you have all of the nice color bling.

My Outlook 2003 has the look and feel of Outlook XP.

Still works and all, even if it was a bit unexpected.
