Is there a way to make the fonts look better?

Post by 357mag »

When Corel opens and I'm looking at my photo collection the thumbnails look beautiful but the fonts underneath them look rather ugly. They don't appear very high quality. Just wondering if this can be improved?

Can you post an image to show what you mean. I don't normally enable the names under the thumbnails but when I do, they display as sans serif Arial (I would guess). They are small, yes, but otherwise well formed and readable, and the latter is all I would be worrying about.

As I understand it, the display fonts are governed by Windows and not PSP, though I would be happy if someone could correct me on that... But I believe the change requires a change to your Registry. You might want to do a Google search for that...

Here's what I see:

Mine look similar. I don't think they look as clear as they should though.

Since you posted that last comment, I have looked at changing the display font, and indeed it does require a change in your Registry (i.e. not in PSP). Do a Google search for how to do this in Windows 7 if that is what you are still using as per your Profile.
