    One of my upcoming WordPress themes I am working on for ThemeForest.net. Hopefully WordPress 3.0 will be officially out before I finish it.

    Aliased text?
    I guess we are over that..
    Nice indeed.

    Thanks Thomas!

    It's not over for me because Microsoft's ClearType is adding colors into the text and it causes my eyes to bleed. That's why I have it turned off - so I am pretty used to this. But you should see it fine on your computer once it's finished :) cheers!

    "colors"? You mean sub-pixel hinting? That makes fonts look way smoother.

    Yup, but it all goes down to personal preference and I prefer to read aliased body text instead of sub-pixel rendered. I will keep this in mind for future shots though, thanks Thomas!

    btw I would love to see some global statistics of people using (or not) ClearType, Quartz etc, but it's impossible to detect...

    Uhum. This is an important topic. The font-rendering most designers on Macs are used to is pretty good but most people experience much worse rendering. Especially since we use @font-face a lot these days we have to test a lot.

    Some combinations of fonts and text-shadow for example are impossible to read in Firefox on Windows while they look great in Firefox on Mac OS. Just recently I had this problem. The only way to fix it was to ditch the shadow for Firefox.
