The text you are talking about is being anti-aliased by the same Quartz
(CoreGraphics) anti-aliasing algorithm that OmniWeb uses.  If you have a
complaint about the quality of text anti-aliasing, you should complain
to Apple.  The only way to improve the quality of the text on an LCD
monitor is for Apple to use sub-pixel anti-aliasing.

You might also try downloading "TinkerTool" to adjust the Mac OS X text
anti-aliasing settings.

Subject: Favorites Bar and LCDs -- can't something be done?

I have to agree the text in the favorites bar is completely unacceptable
on
an LCD (specifically PB G4).  With the increasing number of laptops out
there (and Apple's recent move to an all-LCD lineup), can't something be
done to turn off the anti-aliasing in carbon apps?  I am aware of the
difference between the anti-aliasing in carbon apps vs. what cocoa
provides
(font-smoothing? -- I always get this backward).  This can easily be
seen by
firing up OmniWeb and looking at text that�s the same size.

I know this isn't an MS specific problem, but can the anti-alias be
turned
off when this kind of thing happenes.  Intuitively, it seems it must be
because other apps do it...
