My fonts look perfect in Firefox, and so they do generally in Gnome (Gentoo 2005.1-r1) - without the artifacts from FireFox on Windows.

It's so easy making fonts look good in Gnome and Firefox. Just remember to use the patented BCI in FreeType. And use "best shapes" as anti-aliazing.

Beats the crap out of ClearType, no matter the monitor (using LCD at school, and CRT at home. ClearType on both in XP/Win2K3 - FreeType in Linux).

ClearType generally renders fonts in a poor way, from a technical point of view. No matter how much you tweak it.
