Beat Stamm, formerly of the Advanced Reading Technologies group at 
Microsoft (and before that Microsoft Typography), has published a 
massively expanded and updated version of his classic article on 'The 
Raster Tragedy at Low-Resolution', which explained the need for 
'hinting' of TrueType fonts in low resolution environments. The new 
version of the article covers the plethora of different anti-aliasing 
technologies now in play, and perhaps of most interest to CSS folk some 
discussion of the relationship of font hinting to scaleable or adaptive 
layout. [See particularly section 6.2]
