I've seen comments against font antialiasing before.

But what is it? Is it an automatic feature of OS X? Can you turn it on or off?

I am using Apple's 17 inch flat panel LCD. Whether we use OS 9.2.2, Classic, or just plain OS X, text is always sharp and beautiful. Or maybe my eyes cannot tell the difference!

Go to System Preferences > Appearance. You'll see a section for controlling and turning it off. You may have it set to not smooth the type sizes you usually use, or the screen is sharp enough that you don't perceive it as fuzzy, but more legible (which is the intent, and it does work, but on some monitors, particularly older ones that are already out of focus, it comes out too strong.)
