    No, there is a difference indeed (font smoothing - in order: none, standard, cleartype):

    Maybe it is just my eyes or maybe my hardware but I've seen it the same on many different system configs and the only one that clear type really looked good on was the one I mentioned with the LCD display.

    Matter of tastes IMO, but still too blurry on my 19" CRT.

    Ahh. Reglar font smoothing DOES work afterall! I just tested it out myself...

    Only for large fonts though. "Normal" sized text.. Such as the default Windows size/font does not benefit from regular font smoothing at all.

    It is good to know it serves some* purpose; however, I think I'll stick to ClearType because it seems to have a far greater effect on smaller text.

    I've found it works pretty well on CRTs in higher resolutions but nothing dramatic. Tried enabling it on my wife's notebook and there is a clear difference at any resolution. All documents I've seen say it has the most effect on notebooks and I'd have to agree.
