It’s just you… I believe it wouldn’t look awful if you had font smoothing turned on. I’m running Windows with standard, non-subpixel font smoothing and it looks fine. Do you have font smoothing turned completely off? You might want to try standard smoothing. I think there is some sort of broader problem you are having with fonts though. I previously remember have that problem on some sites and have no idea what caused it and why I don’t see it anymore.
