Turn off ClearType Fonts in Windows XP

In Windows XP, Microsoft introduced ClearType software technology to deliver improved font display quality over traditional forms of font smoothing or anti-aliasing. And these ClearType fonts are basically optimized for color LCDs (Liquid Crystal Displays), such as laptop screens, Pocket PC screens and high-quality flat panel displays and they don’t improve the text appearance and readability to a large extent on traditional CRT screens and also sometimes they might look even poor.
