Most, well many :-), machines, with LCD screens use ClearType font smoothing in Windows XP, and the default font in TrackerV3, which is MS Sans Serif, doesn't render with ClearType smoothing, i.e. you get no smoothing at all. This makes the otherwise very nice TrackerV3 program look very bad at first glance, compared to other applications. IMHO the default font should be one that supports ClearType smoothing in that size.
In addition, the font in the general info area should also be settable for the same reason, as far as I could tell this area also uses a "custom" font, i.e. it is not settable through the windows appearance settings.
Thanks

Re: Default font and ClearType font smoothing problem
I'm surprised. I have an LCD and MS Sans Serif is smoothed all the way. TrackerV3 looks exactly as good as any other app.
It's true that the info area font is hard-set to MS Sans Serif. If I'd soften that, the interface would likely fall apart with most other fonts.
