    iTunes font issue

    For about a month now, I've been trying to figure out why my iTunes font persists staying boxy/blurry looking on my laptop. I've searched on Google for a solution, and the only one I found was to download Helvetica font (which I never found for free). However, on my computer, the font looks normal (smooth) and I checked my font folder, and I don't have Helvetica on either computer. If it's an issue with the driver, every time I try to tinker with it, "Windows has just recovered from a serious error" pops up four or five times in a row.

    Does anyone have a solution to this?

    Dumb stuff but we never know

    1) Did you uninstall and reinstalled itunes?

    2) Graphic Card problem (update drivers maybe)

    Yes, I have uninstalled, reinstalled iTunes multiple times and it's the same issue. As far as drivers are concerned, I recently reformatted this laptop and just downloaded/installed the drivers a few weeks ago. Before I did that, the album artwork section (I like to have iTunes in Coverflow) didn't show anything.

    Before you reformatted was the problem there?

    If no might need to get the same driver version as before? how about that?

    I find the iTunes a very rigid and not decustomisable software and I think it is rather not friendly with user as the user interface is very tough to use and get acquainted with it .it takes lot of time to get understanding.

    Looks like it's software rendering it to me, but I could be wrong as perhaps the OSX version of iTunes is just smoother looking overall.

    What you said about the drivers tossing up serious errors does make it look like that may be your culprit though.

    Unfortunately, this laptop was given to me by my boyfriend's mother, and the original driver discs have been misplaced. I downloaded the drivers from the website and now I'm having a hard time finding my exact laptop's drivers.

    Thanks for all the help, I guess I'll just have to deal with it for now.
