Can you re-enable ClearType on IE8 after using a filter?

Is there a way to re-enable ClearType after using a filter on Internet Explorer 8?

I have used a filter to create a gradient on IE8, and I know already that filters remove ClearType. Now font that is displayed in the gradient is fuzzy and hard to read on IE8.

Can I enable ClearType manually?

I have used a png image as a gradient for now, but it's not as flexible as the filter because IE8 doesn't allow the image to be stretched vertically without using a fixed position (I need to us an absolute position).

Any tips?

Solution

  • There is no way to enable ClearType after using a filter.

    Filters should be avoided when possible due the limitations that they cause.
