Aller is lovely — but I came up against poor rendering too and ended up (horror of horrors) using image replacement when I wanted to use it on a site. This was a whole back: www.clickwork.net/amc
On a tangent, I've found that Chrome (and now Opera — they use the same rendering engine) on Windows don't hint fonts as well as other browsers. You can sometimes get round this by specifying `-webkit-text-stroke: .25px` (your mileage may vary — play with the exact sub-pixel value to see what does and doesn't work). The gotcha is that this may make the font look worse in Safari OSX.
