#3Do you have the same problem on http://www.ossfyd.com/
It only happens on Windows and I thought it worked on Windows 7 but I was either mistaken or there is an obscure option that needs to be toggled (something other than cleartype; this is a more serious aliasing problem).

It works great in Linux and OSX. I think windows probably hates the font.
The other sites you see trouble on were probably designed on Linux or OSX as well.
