Why are fonts fuzzy?
Posted: Thu Feb 09, 2012 8:04 pm
When I view source code of a web page in Firefox, the font (Courier New) is clean and crisp. When I view the same source code in TextPad, in the same font, it's fuzzy and harder to read.
This happens with a Compaq Q2159 wide-screen monitor.
1. Is there a reason for it.
2. Is there a work-around?
ps: here are snapshots that illustrate the difference:
