iGeek Blog: Mac OS X like Font Smoothing on Windows

http://jaggsr.blogspot.com/2009/09/mac-os-x-like-font-smoothing-on-windows.html

Mac OS X like Font Smoothing on Windows. Font Smoothing is good on Windows Xp/Vista, but not the best. The font smoothing you can get in Mac OS X is very good. One will love to have OS X like font smoothing on Windows as well (If that buddy want to switch to Windows from OS X, little strange. huh.). However from my point of view, Ubuntu 9.04 does provide much better font smoothing. After seeing that Ubuntu, I would like to have the same on the Windows Xp as well. Windows Xp - Cleartype Fontsmoothing.
