One thing I found is that with certain fonts (like for Start Trek and Robotech) sometimes shrinking it to a certain degree deforms the font (not using proper setting) and the pixels then get displayed wrong and ruins the effect you wanted in the first place (like for Star Trek I love teh solid one with the outline around the letters, like hull registrations, but if I use the wrong size and then manipulate it it merges parts of the outline with the inner part)... God help me if I try to edit SHIP textures later on for naming starships with that damn font!!! No wonder they call it an art...
[EDIT]: WOOT! I don't know if you did anything but I can change display settings now!!!! Thank you! For now I am going with the red... (I love red, black, blue, and grey themes. They feel more military like)
