Check out http://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/cleartypeactivate.htm?fname=%20&fsize


Yep - there's a JavaScript function in Internet Explorer-  CTAdjust" - (iCab flags it as undefined) that allows the browser to muck with your Clear Type settings!!! 

Now, WHAT THE %#)@@$(%# ELSE have those Redmondites put into Internet Explorer ?? Maybe a ReadDisk, or how about a SendAllSecureSitesVisited or who knows what.

I would NEVER visit a M$ site with an M$ browser after seeing this one!
