Here’s another link with some examples from a comment posted in the first blog:
So there’s no technical reason for Firefox (or Linux) not to have awesome great looking font rendering.
I agree MiG, Safari Font Rendering > Firefox Font Rendering
although, I just set my fonts in FF to Franklin & they look way more smooth =D
And in Windows, if you use the sub-pixel stuff, it’s not bad at all. Cleartype? Is that what it’s called?
yeah Cleartype, at times makes it seem like Letters / Fonts are Squashed together =o
However, Fonts/Letters do Render better than Without Cleartype on =]

Edit -
are there any programs which I may use to render fonts more smooth in Windows & Web Browsers?
