I’ve written a web-page / script (using Microsoft’s ClearType control) that you can use to adjust ClearType without being online (mainly because my Compaq TFT8030 uses BGR pixel order instead of RGB, there is no documentation on how to set that and my computer is not connected to the ‘net). You’ll need WinXP SP1 to use the BGR pixel-order, but you can set the anti-aliasing type and ClearType contrast on pre-SP1 machines. Get it here.
