I just upgraded to IE8 and am noticing weird issue on many sites I visit. 

The W3C site is a case in point: 
http://www.w3.org/TR/CSS21/visudet.html#float-width

When I open this in IE8 The text looks only "partially rendered" - faint 
- like you would see from an old style platen press where there wasn't 
enough ink.  The text is all there but it is faint and the characters 
look "broken" - choppy, etc.

This is the same if I choose IE7 mode or IE8 mode with the zoom at 100% 
and text size of medium.

If I click the zoom and increase it to 125% or 150% the text looks 
normal.  At 100% if I set the text size to "larger" it will also look 
correct. 

I have tried changing my display settings related to font smoothing and 
use of clear type and those do not seem to have an impact. 

Is there something we are going to need to do in our CSS styles to 
override this and make sure the text doesn't look hacked up in IE8? 

Anyone else seen this/figured out what is going on here?

Thanks
