    Default Type not readable on screen

    Illustrator 10 (winXP)
    CPU: Cadco
    RAM: 512
    Memory: 80GB
    Processor: Athlon AMD

    Question:
    Type in illustrator is not readable on screen. To read the type I must convert the type into outlines or zoom in 500% to read the type. This happens on all illustrator files and all fonts (any size). The type is shown with gray bars unless I scale the type over 1000 points. If someone can help me I'd be grateful!
    Thank You

    Default Re: Type not readable on screen

    Under "Preferences->Type and Auto Tracing" check the value for "Greeking". It should be set to something like "6pt". You probably have it set to around 500pt.
