Antialiasing gone rogue?

[David R]

This form used to work fine under 2003... it's still an .mdb, but in 2007/2010 it looks like hell. I haven't bothered to try to upscale it yet, but a search of the forum yielded nothing... thoughts?

Good theory, but no visible change.

I am perfectly happy to redeploy it as a .accdb if that will solve this. This is really the only form that's acting that way, but then again it's the only form built on such a narrow font (information density is at a premium for this part of the DB). Pretty much everything else has Arial.

The odd part is that my end users do not report the same visibility problem, so I keep thinking it's something about my machine (or that they don't even realize it's so bad). But I just had a clean reimaging and it's still there...
