My experience with fonts is the opposite; in Win 7 the letters are always tattered and manifest some color distortions around the letter edges; no matter what I do with Cleartype settings, both in browser and other programs such as Outlook. In Debian with Xfce or Gnome, the letters look much better, smoother and almost no color distortions apparent. I do not know if it is because of different font or different rendering (hinting) algorithm, but I never saw text representation on Windows be as good as on my Debian.
