Lucida Grande Font Problem

Many VS use Lucida Grande font as a main font for dialogs and buttons. I do have Lucida Grande installed. But when I use these VSs the text in dialogs and on buttons dosn't look very good - the distance between letters is too big as it suppose to be.

How do I fix it?

For some VS it is recommended to substitute MS Shell Dlg Font by Lucida Grande on the system level. I don't like this option very much since I have other users using my computer and I don't want to effect them with my font settings.

Thank you.

Alex.

It may have something to do with your monitor or grafx card. I think you should try turning on Clear-type and if that doesn't work, find an alternative font such as lucidaMac and edit the name so that VSs recognize it as Lucida Grande.

i would only think that modding the skin to use the same font just at a different size would help.. but i wouldn't know for sure?

if anything you can also change the advanced appearance properties by manually changing the different sizes of the actual font?

If you use any different font with PantherSnow, the glyphs become smaller no matter what size and the spacing between glyphs becomes altered as well.
