"Joel Spolsky in his article 'Font smoothing, anti-aliasing, and sub-pixel rendering' compares Microsoft and Apple ways of text rendering and explains why windows people don't like Safari. Text in Safari looks too blurry and that must be why. I want to go further and sum up my experience and observations about it. I'm not an expert in digital typography, but I 'have something to say'. At least, some ideas may be useful for the GNU/Linux community."

... I kinda prefer the non-MS anti-aliasing, even on MS Windows. I say non-MS because I like the way Apple or some Linux distros do the anti-aliasing (I use MS Windows and some Linux distros). On low res displays it seems blurry, but on high res it looks much more nice and 'correct'. I always thought that most fonts looked bad on MS Windows, even with AA on. Now I know why...
