ClearType font smoothing on Vista

Consolas is a great font for programming, because it's fixed-width and you can easily distinguish 0's and 1's. But the font looks terrible if font smoothing isn't set to "ClearType".

Steps for setting font smoothing on Vista:

1. Right-click on the desktop and select "Personalize"
2. Click on "Window Color and Appearance"
3. Click on "Open classic appearance properties for more color options"
4. On the "Appearance Settings" dialog that appears, click on the "Effects..." button
5. Place a check mark on "Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts"
6. Select "ClearType" on the dropdown list
7. Click OK a couple times
