I was using the Vista Magnifier, and the text on my screen is looking like crap. I checked my TrueType settings and they were turned off. Seems like the Magnifier is trashing this window setting.
This page explains how to set it back.

The OLPC uses a very clever layout of RGB pixels on the display so that the monochrome pixels can produce a very high resolution display (1200x900 in 7.5" diagonal = 200 dpi!) (at 1/10th the power with the back light turned on).
This is basically ClearType in reverse - the basic display is B&W, with a color diagonal-banded "overlay" when used in color mode.
Color images are rendered at lower resolution (the claim is effective 800 x 600, but at best you have 1/3 the pixels available if you need proper color rendering - so the display is reduced by SQRT(3) in each dimension: 700x530 would be more accurate).
I'm amazed at the technical innovations in this device whose primary purpose was to be a cheap "$100 PC". Mine is supposed to arrive sometime in the next 10 days.
