The fonts looks blury on BGR monitors because Safari always renders the font for RGB monitos, the value for monitors geomatry is stored as a dword in the registry under [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\desktop] FontSmoothingOrientation The falues are: 0 = Non traditional build up, like layered colors (rendered using gray scale, I belive this is the case for OLED and some plasma monitors, but also applys for 90deg pivoted screens as they have there pixels vertical and thers no setting for that). 1 = RGB the most normal set up in a flas monitor and the methode always used in Current versions of Safari for Windows. 2 = BGR pixel color elements are in the oposid order from RGB monitors.
