Description:
Tired of the blurry effects and green halo from ClearType? My new Gaux font family is meant for being read without optical correction or supersampling. │▓▓▓▓▓▓░░▓▓▓▓▓▓│ │▓▓▓▓▓░░░░▓▓▓▓▓│ │▓▓▓▓░░░░░░▓▓▓▓│ │▓▓▓░░████░░▓▓▓│ │▓▓░░░█░░░░░░▓▓│ │▓░░░░████░░░░▓│ │░░░░░░░░░░░░░░│ ╘════KOPIMI════╛ -For the glory of God

Finally, there is someone who treats descenders fairly. Myriad of ligatures and alternative glyphs - some of them excessively pretty (&,Q). 10/10

Thanks @Frodo7! I plan to add even more ligatures soon; as of now I don't have any starting with lowercase letters.

Good job.

But what's wrong with ClearType? I love it?

Thanks @aphoria,
& ClearType is fine for large sizes, but Windows does supersampling without it, and sub-pixl sampling makes glyphs look red on 1 side & blue on the other side. And if you do use pixel fonts with ClearType, it puts this green halo around all the letters. I'll upload a picture to show you what I mean.

Here's my picture: The top is without ClearType, the bottom is with it. Note: Some fonts have no anti-aliasing at 12pt without ClearType, but I chose one that does.

Everyone who downloaded this font may want to download it again. I just fixed the % sign, in which I forgot the 0's. :S
