After clean install, default font is bad

[George]

I formatted the hard drive and then I did a clean install
of XP Pro on a laptop. The display fonts look all washed
out. Not crisp and clear at all. Some letters are darker
than others. Somewhere there is a setting to be changed
but I cannot find it. I previously had Win 2000 installed
and the display was perfect so I don't think that it is
the hardware.

Seems that XP has only loaded default drivers for your graphics card.
The manufacture of the graphics-card should supply drivers for you. Or if
the graphics are build-in, the motherboard manufacturer.
