Problem

I'd like to leave ClearType on for most of my applications, but 1 or 2 of them really need it turned off because the characters look horribly fuzzy with it turned on. I'm using Windows 7. Is there any way to specify an application that ClearType should be disabled on?

Fix for: How to turn off ClearType for one application only?

Low Risk

No, ClearType works on the entire screen at once. You can't turn it on or off per application or per window. You could turn it off altogether while you work with those two programs and then turn it back on, but that is probably just as uncomfortable…
