i'll agree - tho i prefer the "original font" first one. looks the best imoh..
then again i have spent a little time fixing the birghtness & contrast on my
monitor to look good.. and the color fringing on the subpixel rendering just
looks nasty - even on my lcd screen (and even the ms cleartype looks nasty too
so i just have a thing against cleartype-like stuff cause of the color fringing
- it just starts looking like a screen that has its rgb guns out of alignment)

:)

now... back to code :)
