Windows XP users, check DIS shit out. Makes your
fonts all smooth and antialiased as if they were rendered in
photoshop. Time New Roman, Verdana, etc, look slightly
different, but it's worth it.

this is old

to enable this system wide on your machine, just right click
on desktop, select properties, click the Appearance tab,
then the Effects button, then in the second drop-down box
choose ClearType

to - it helps finetune it.

You CAN'T! Ahahaha I love microsoft. You also have to use IE
to do the calibration.

it's called subpixel aliasing; it gets a better
approximation of shapes by using the fact that pixels on
laptops are actually triplets of rectangular cells. All
modern graphics subsystems use it to render fonts. Here's
the standard freely available one:

http://freetype.org/

Regular antialiasing is just pixel averaging along the
borders, and doesn't take advantage of laptop screen
composition..

corrected link for qrter, sorry about the oversight.

Speaking of oversight, the whole point of the pixels being
rectangular cells is that each is a different color, and
together they can color the whole spectrum (usually either
red-green-blue or b-g-r, the distinction being that you
don't specify fill-left or fill-right, you send a color, so
to approximate the same shape on two screens with different
orderings you'd send different colors)
