“Internet Explorer’s is much more smooth and looks a lot better.”
You do have a good sense of a humor!
These IE7 rendered fonts are really the ugliest. And the craziest thing is that this ClearType is set by default!
I’m glad discovering long time ago such great browser as Firefox or Opera, because IE is a pi*** of **it. I’m wondering, how the mankind still can use this stupid browser, and being a web developer/designer it only brings me pain in the…you know, where :).

Would be awesome if the font on this site was not this small..You clearly can’t have clear fonts beyong a certain size. This font is on the edge, but it starts to look fuzzy. But fontsize 12 will be fine.

You are a ridiculous person for thinking that IE renders fonts better. I’d go as far as to say that you can’t tell the difference between pink and green, or apples and steak. You need to hide away for a while and think about this. You might just be borderline psychotic.

What a fantastic tip! One of my very few “againsts” for Firefox has been completely removed: even the very small fonts look good in Firefox now!

Thanks a million! I have been trying to figure out why FF looked so bad! I even went as far as making images for the text! LOL! Thanks!

Let’s face it everyone, the world would be a better place if IE didn’t ever exist. Too many problems, and even their supposed fixes only create more problems. Now if the rest of world could catch on and stop using it and just use Firefox and Safari, even Opera.
