Antialias Text

Hi,

I have been noticing recently that the text in some websites appears
antialiased, as if created with Fireworks or some graphic design software,
but it's plain text. Does anyone know how this is accomplished? Look at
Amazon.com as an example.

Thanks,

E.J.

Sounds odd. Can you be a bit more specific in your example: a URL to a
certain page and which text to look at?

Try looking for a book at Amazon.com and look at the reviews. For example:

win XP certainly does have font smoothing.

right click my Computer>Properties>Advanced>Performance and you'll see the
"Smooth edges of screen fonts" option in the list
