Some fonts look smoothed when anti-aliased. Some fonts look blurry when anti-aliased. It would be nice to have a way for the user to control whether a particular font is AA or not.

Controlling the strength of anti-aliasing would solve that problem better. Especially on TFT-screens the current anti-aliasing looks disgusting.
how can i enable anti-alliasing in mozilla 1.0 rc3, for suse 8.0?
in unix.js: This pref controls anti-aliased bitmaps // below a certian pixel size anti-aliased bitmat scaled fonts // produce poor results pref("font.scale.aa_bitmap.enable", true); pref("font.scale.aa_bitmap.always", false); This URL describes how to enable TrueType fonts with anti-aliasing http://www.mozilla.org/projects/fonts/unix/enabling_truetype.html
