[QUOTE="dtownley1, post: 275873, member: 20564"] there was another app I discovered (link above) which may help you. Surely you don't intend to sell your mbp because of the font smoothing. I guess it all comes down to past experience and what one is used to. That article was pretty interesting. I feel that if fonts are that small on your screen, no matter which OS or smoothing, it's not great for the eyes anyway. Personally, I prefer mac (judging by the linux screenshot, that is also nice) - but on windows, I don't want it to look as if everything is a bitmap font. Bitmap fonts are designed to look pixelated, I don't believe others should as well. This is also true to vectors. A nice antialiased edge looks much nicer. Again, just personal preference - so I don't think there's any 'right' or 'wrong' in this issue. Anyway, check out that link I mentioned in my post above - perhaps it'll help you out. [/QUOTE]
