 Replying to [comment:3 miqrogroove]:
 > Screen shots attached.  iammattthomas, clearly you have some kind of
 font smoothing enabled that I do not.

 Do not forget that Firefox ignores system settings regarding fonts. It
 looks like you have set
 gfx.font_rendering.cleartype.use_for_downloadable_fonts  FALSE in Firefox.
 Because WordPress sents antialiased fonts, Firefox with this setting make
 simply black-and-white font from that and then it looks like it looks.

 I hate subpixel antialiasing and I hate WordPress, which use it (or
 webmasters use it?). I would like if the appearance was like on your 3.7
 screenshot, but no way - everywhere that rainbow fonts which looks like
 image from bad cheap camera with huge chromatic aberration :-( .
