If you've heard about Linux and feel like giving it a go or if you want to try Linux but you're too afraid it'll shew up your computer, this article is for you. Read it, feel free to take what you need and ignore the rest. This is not a tutorial, it's a README-FIRST-like article. It should help you to take that first dive.

I have an LCD screen and the black fonts that are supposed to be black have a color problem. It doesn't matter what setting I set the RGB hinting to. The font edges are still screwed. Sometimes I see a little bit or red and sometimes it's green...etc. In Windows XP, my black fonts are always BLACK!
Is the display running at the native resolution of the LCD? (Not scaled up or squoze to fit.)
If no, try that and see if the problem goes away.
If yes, do you notice any of the same problems with non-font objects such as black on white or white on black objects such as circles, or lines (vertical, horizontal, and diagonal)?
If you do...check to see if your monitor is properly selected.
If you do not notice any of these problems, I'm out of suggestions.
I'm not saying you have done anything wrong. It's just that I encounter this problem with Windows also and it's usually easy to fix.
