SYMPTOMS

The Flying Font screen saver included with the Microsoft TrueType Font Pack version 2.0 may leave "ghost" afterimages of the font on the screen.

  1. In Control Panel, double-click the Display icon.
  2. On the Plus! tab, click the Smooth Edges Of Screen Fonts check box to clear it.
  3. Click OK.
