Text displayed on the sceen is very hard to read because of the hard edges, but looking under Appearance Settings -> Effects the option to Use the following method to smooth edges of screen fonts is disabled (grayed).
I adjusted the connection speed manually (remote session) and checked visual effects, and now I am able to activate ClearType. But the edges are still sharp.
How can I otherwise smooth edges of screen fonts?
If the options for "ClearType" and the method to smooth the edges of screen fonts is disabled, then you are probably using a Remotedesktop-connection to manage your server. If so, check the Experience tab when connecting to your server.
Choose the connection speed manually and allow the visual effects. Also check the color-settings under the Display tab and change it to 24-bit. If it still doesn't work then changing the color-option to 32 again seems to do the trick.
