I have laptop computer with a 15 inch SXGA+ screen, P4 3
GHz running Windows XP Pro and Office XP Pro. Video
setup is 32MB DDR NVIDIA GeForce FX Go5200 AGP4x Graphics
with screen resolution set at maximum, 96 dpi, and font
size through Display Properties set to normal.
While using Notepad with the standard Lucida console, 10
point regular font, text typed appears fine.
When creating a new email message in Outlook 2002, the
standard non-bold Arial 10 point font appears as if it is
bolded and is larger in appearance than I expect when
compared to a different model laptop with a 15 inch
screen at the same resolution.
When viewing a web page in Internet Explorer, the fonts
appear bolded, text is larger than expected, and takes up
more space on the screen again as compared to the other
laptop.
Finally, if I open Word 2002, the same Arial 10 point
font appears to be smaller as compared to the Arial 10
point within Outlook 2002. Word's magnification is set
to 100%.
I have tried using Clear Type for font smoothing,
downloaded and installed the latest vide drivers, changed
screen resolution to less than maximum, and even enabled
font scaling via the registry with maximum screen
resolution. I still have the same problem. What else
should I do? Is there a setting for how fonts are
displayed in Outlook? I have left the default set to
Arial 10 for new and replied to messages.
