One thing that I've heard from a few people is that when you put IE and firefox (on windows) side by side, you can see that fthe fonts in IE are much clearer.
This is usually because Windows XP does not enable ClearType (sub-pixel anti-aliasing, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ClearType) by default for all applications - just for IE. If you want firefox/win to look better, there's a setting somewhere in control panel for this. I know that there are linux sub-pixel anti-aliasing implementations, but couldn't really say how to configure it. Recently, it's been enabled out-of-the-box for me on ubuntu...

I think firefox is a great browser but I think that firefox can learn one thing from IE I think that Firefox and IE try successfully to make their browsers user friendly so that the lowest common denominator can user their browsers, but IE is streets ahead, because out of IE and Firefox IE is the only browser that doesn't assume that everyone has 20/20 vision. I can hear everybody saying ctr+ will increase font. True but this will distort the web page even to the extent that some links or information can become hidden but only IE will show the web page with a suitable font size and layed out in such a way that no information is hidden or missing. In fact the first thing I noticed when I first used linux was that the fonts and everything just seemed to be smaller. -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
