Which version of IE? IE9 is actually pretty nice about how it renders text. But it also depends whether you have ClearType enabled in windows or not. http://www.emblematiq.com/blog/to_anti_alias_or_not_to_anti_alias/ It's disabled by default in XP, but enabled by default in Vista and Win7.

Additionally, there is no need for a fall back since the fall back is only going to be used if the @font-face font isn't present, so the browser moves on to the next font in the stack. Unless you're actually using an IE specific stylesheet, which isn't really recommended anymore since IE6 is on its way out and IE7 isn't too far behind either.

The whole point of fontsquirrel is that the fonts they list are free to use AND have been developed by their respective foundries to be websafe. So that is not the issue. It's mostly a quirk with how the OS/browser renders text.

Is it normal behaviour that a font, in my case TitilliumText22LThin from fontsquirell and used for article text, is thicker in Internet Explorer?
