This font is used also in the quick search edit field, in most views of UltraEdit, in Outlook for the message header lines, in all programs using the MFC class CListCtrl and not using extra code to work with a different font and font size for the list as defined in the Windows appearance dialog, etc. The reason is that I have increased the font size of Selected Items in the appearance configuration dialog of windows - see screenshot appearance_dialog.png - from 8 to 10. You will see on my screenshot that the file time is truncated a little bit in the status bar. So I have also turned off the cleartype options on my Windows XP computer - see screenshot effects_dialog.png.īut I have no problems with the font in the quick search or the status bar as you can see on my screenshots at. I also don't like all these "enhancements" for displaying fonts. Please give me the option to say NO and to be able to revert back to the standard Tahoma sharp text that I had in version 14 and every version for the last 10 years since I've been a loyal UltraEdit user. Please, PLEASE don't force me - and everyone else - to use these ridiculous fonts which hurt my eyes. The file name shown in the tabs are also fuzzy. Also, at the bottom of the application on the status bar, all text on the status bar is fuzzy. But in the "quick search" box (or whatever it's called), the font is all fuzzy from antialiasing. In my editor window, I use Courier New, and it displays perfectly. I want to publicly ask - and even BEG - that in the next minor update, the user has the OPTION to use the plain old classic fonts as we saw prior to version 15. I can't stress enough as to how much I detest this. I don't want them fuzzy or hazy or "rounded" or "edge enhanced" or any other such nonsense.Īnd even though I specifically turned off all font enhancements in Windows, I'm still being forced to see ClearType in UltraEdit, which clearly suggests that it's being forced down my throat whether I want to use it or not. But when I'm in my text editor, I want my fonts to be SHARP and CRISP. If I wanted antialiasing, I'll load up one of my favourite first-person shooters and play till my eyes hurt. On my system, I specifically turn OFF any and all "enhancements" made to fonts because I absolutely detest them. I was horrified when I loaded UltraEdit 15 to find that I'm now being FORCED to use ClearType fonts. You were never forced to use idiotic layouts or stupid "features" that the creators of other programs force you to use because of their "we know best" attitude. You can make it do just about anything you want. One of the things that make UtlraEdit such a favourite editor among so many people is that it's HIGHLY configurable. I just tried the new version of UltraEdit (15.0) and for the first time ever in all the years I've been using UE, I'm disappointed.
