It's really a matter of taste—i.e. whether you prefer typographic purity or optimization for screen. The Safari fonts look better to me even in your comparison

- tokipin 18y agopossibly. though i think the difference is significant enough that many people (like myself) will not use Safari for that single reason. you might argue that just as many people will use it because of that reason. but if it's true that people go with what they are used to, then those fonts are going to look plain blurry to most Windows users, and not much is going to sway them it would be nice if it had the option of using the standard Windows rendering. even without ClearType active it is distinctly better to me. i wonder how difficult that might be to arrange (i.e. is that part of the software open source?)
