I agree. Notice that Microsoft doesn't use AA on their OS - that's because it's easier to read good fonts without it! AA fonts are actually very bad on the eyes - the eyes perceive them as unfocused and try to focus on them, which obviously doesn't work and strains them. AA is OK for large fonts (20px or more) but for anything less than 20 it is horrible. -- -- Igor
