- I don't have that much trouble with how the fonts look in interlace
- mode. (And no, I don't have a FlickerFixer.) What I DID do, though, was
- set the Display prefs to 95x95 DPI which, on my 1084-clone, means that hte
- margins fall off the sides of the screen but you can see all the text. It
- comes out quite nice.
