IE7 upgrades to font smoothing…
I just downloaded IE7 on my PC box to take a test drive, as its important to my job for the sites that I worked on to be cross-browser compatible. To my surprise, IE7 is now using font smoothing, just like Apple has been doing for years. They are using a technology called Clear Type which produces a similar effect to font smoothing. It currently now works with IE7 and Outlook.

If you think the text is too blurry and would like to turn it off, follow these instructions:
Be default, IE7 enables ClearType font rendering in the browser. Most people, especially those with LCD screens, will notice a big improvement (if ClearType is not installed already). However, many people will not like this type of font smoothing.
- 1. Open IE7
2. Open Tool Menu
3. Click Internet Options
4. Click Advanced Tabs
5. Under Multimedia, clear the Use ClearType checkbox
6. Click OK X 2
