Windows Channel9 met with Bill Hill and the ClearType team again and see what's the latest with the fonts in Windows Vista. They talk about trends in display resolution, research done in aesthetics and quite a few other things.

Did you miss the part where I said BCI was enabled? ;)

Or does Apple have a different (better) algorithm?

I know BCI is disabled on just about every distro for licensing reasons.

Isn't that why the Bitstream fonts are such a big deal? As I understand they are optimized for the non-patent infringing algorithm used in FreeType.

It's enabled when using Gentoo. At least from european servers ;) .. but then, we don't have software patents (yet).

Whether or not Apple have better algorithms are to be seen, but based from screenshots I don't think so.
