Hi,
I am posting this in hope that the Adobe designers can remove the requirement for Segoe UI in their user interface.
I have had to make certain special changes so that I could disable Segoe UI and ClearType in Vista so my screen looks clear. Segoe UI, ClearType, and Vista do not mix well.
But the only fix I know that removes Segoe UI from the Vista UI does not allow users to use Photoshop CS3 because Photoshop REQUIRES Segoe UI as the UI font and there is no alternative that I know of. So this leaves CRT users forced to use undesirable settings in Vista, which are blurred fonts that can contribute to eyestrain.
Segoe UI is a Cleartype font, which looks terrible on Vista when users use CRT’s (these are still common and sold for many reasons, especially for exact color graphics and other things requiring super clarity). See my article at < http://steve.fsxtreme.com/blogs/2008/01/16/say-no-to-segoe-a nd-cleartype-on-vista/> on how I fixed it on my system. But doing this disables PhotoShop, which leaves people in a difficult position.
Forcing Segoe UI on customers with CRT’s was a major oversight by Microsoft IMO. I hope you all can change your product to allow for non-Cleartype fonts in your user interfaces.
