If you are using Windows XP and haven’t turned on ClearType fonts, you need to try it – it’s amazing. (Yeah, I know it’s probably old news, but I didn’t know about it til today). Go to
Desktop –> Properties –> Appearance –> Effects
and change the second drop-down to ClearType. Hit OK then the next OK. Now be amazed at how much different the text now looks in XP.

Credit goes to Tom for pointing this out to me.
