The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Font Smoothing

Asked by guardian angel in Windows 95 Operating System, Font Creator

I've installed the 'Font Smoothing' portion of MSPlus and have been happy with the appearance of my 'Active/Inactive title bar', 'Message text', and 'menu text' set to "Book Antiqua" bold/italic...until recently.

I'm not sure if my problem is attributable to this, but I've recently installed DirectX v3.0b and my fonts no longer appear "smooth". I can check and uncheck 'Smooth edges of screen fonts' in the Display Properties/Plus! section, press 'apply' and see no change in any of my fonts. Even if the effect were extremely subtle, I'm sure I'd notice.

I've had to pick a different font style more pleasing to my eyes. I know this is a little obsessive but I'm really quite puzzled over it. I'd seen my fonts revert to "unsmooth" before and my fix had been to go back to 'Display Properties', undo 'bold', "Apply", then restore to bold. This would always bring it back. Needless to say, my fix no longer works. Any light shed on this would be met with much adoration. Thank you.
