Martin, you are a genius (not that this fact was ever in doubt)! :approve:

I downloaded the Clear Type applet, ran the wizard, selected the view that I wanted and reset Firefox to allow sites to select their own fonts. The result is as good as anything in IE (including IE8) and the page load times are significantly better.

OK, I'm sold: I'm moving to Firefox. :)
