Hover causes fading? Part 2

This continues a thread with the same title where I discussed the fact that
on my machine the shading of letters changes when the mouse hovers over an
adjacent link.

See the following page http://orangecountyquakers.org/test.htm

In the sentence at the top of the page, if I click on the "link", the
letters in the words outside the link change color. If I then refresh the
screen, the colors change back.

Below this sentence I have inserted a bit map that shows one of the letters
before (on the left) and after (on the right) clicking on the link. You can
see the difference. You can download this bitmap, if you like, read it into
Photoshop or some other image editor, and actually see the different color
values in corresponding pixels in the two letters.

Another machine at my disposal does not exhibit this behavior, and several
readers of this ng cannot see it either. So it is something going on with my
own setup. It's not real important, but I am curious to figure out what's
going on. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Which Font are you using? Times New Roman?
Try a different font, e.g. Comic Sans MS is what I use
(Alt-T,O,Alt-n,Alt-W,Comic Sans MS)
 
The font you see in the example is the Times Roman. I get the same effect
with any other fonts.
 
Hi,
I don't see that effect with IE6 on WinXP or WinME. Is it because you have
"font smoothing" checked or unchecked on your machine? (Ctrl Panel> Display>
Effects)
Have you checked any options in Ctrl Panel> Accessibility or Internet
Options> General> Accessibility?
Are you running a desktop theme? Themes can cause strange problems.
In Internet Options> Colors, are you using Windows colors or a custom
setting?
