Ernst,

I'm not sure, but could it be you're using colors, say RGB(107,199,77) on the words which are not supported by your VGA settings (256 colors)? On a plain background with these RGBs, the color appears faded.

>it happens with certain fonts like arial wheras it works fine with arial narrow
>fontbold=.T. and Backstyle=transparent. The words are still readable but not clearly.
