Does cleartype exist in Vista? I havegot some real fuzzy type of my
SyncMaster 204t. I am using Sapphire 9600 ATI chipset

Any guidance would be appreciated

But I'm pretty sure it's on by default.

Is there a way to adjust the cleartype - because the only fonts that
aren't fuzzy are my desktop icon labels

I finally got the fuzzy fonts removed by going to the basic setting. I
guess that the driver for my card isn't quite ready for prime-time, as
it were
 
it might be fuzzy for you because i think it is for everyone and then they
get used to it being better looking then jaggy text.

I am thinking that it may be a combination of the monitor and video card
drivers not working right in this beta release. As I mentioned earlier,
when I changed to Windows Basic - the fonts are sharper and the windows
fit on the screen properly when expanded to full size (previously, the
windows would expand off the the screen to the point I couldn't see the
control buttons.)

Vista has also included 5 new fonts made especially for Clear Type. Their
names all start with a "C" except for "Segoe UI" which is the font used
throughout the Vista interface. They are as follows:
Constantia
Cambria
Corbel
Calibri
Candara
Consolas
I like the font Segoe UI...it's very easy to read.

If anyone experienced what i described above, I did finally find the
cause. My monitor is a 20.1 inch LCD. When I installed Vista it
correctly set my font dpi at 120. After "noodling" around in the
settings I changed the font dpi 96. changing the font to this size
cleared up the fuzzy type issue. It also cleared up a problem with the
windows in all programs (except IE7) not resizing properly when switched
from normal to maximize. I did file a bug report with MS.
 
Control panel - personalisation - visual appearance - effects. select
cleartype in the drop down box.
