Mac OS vs Windows font rendering

English (US) Mac OS vs Windows font rendering

I want to recommend this post by Joel Spolski about differences in font rendering philosophy between Mac OS & Windows.

I never really understood why Apple failed to render sharp fonts on screen. Now I understand the purpose. I'm still not sure which is best though... ;)

Intersting that you'll never hear about this difference in those Apple vs PC commericals. You'd think that with the huge Mac graphic design user base they'd do things right.
