Someone sent me this link to ClearType today. It's a pretty cool little... thing for Windows that makes all fonts look better due to a better type of anti-aliasing.
From the ClearType website:
Pretty cool huh? You can learn more about here:

From the ClearType website:
- This is how the lowercase 'm' looks in the original typeface outline.
- This is a close-up of the 'm' when rendered on screen without ClearType. Notice how the 'm' has hard, jagged stair-steps or 'jaggies' in the stems, or 'legs' of the 'm'.
- This is a close-up of the 'm' when rendered on screen with ClearType. Notice how the 'jaggies' are much more subtle and the letter is rendered more smoothly.
