anti aliased text in web browsers
All of my web browsers display aliased text (jagged edges, only 1 color). I know that I have seen anti aliased text on web browsers before. Is there a setting for this somewhere (Mozilla and IE 5.0)?

I think it depends on the style of font and size used rather than a setting

I think windows/desktop has an option to turn off anti-aliasing somewhere...
Yes, with Windows XP, go to Control Panel > System > Advanced > Performance Settings, and in the list, tick the "Smooth edges of screen fonts" box. (I think this is the one )

Mmm, everything is so nice and smooth in OSX... MMMM...
Joking aside, from Win98+ and OSX you can have anti-aliasing for a set size. Pages look *so* much nicer. Man. I opened N4 (in OS9) for testing the other day and was so sad to see the jaggies.

Found it. Its just under display/effects/smooth transitions on screen fonts. This is on Windows 2000 pro.
