#21
I don't really see that. It looks more like it switches in unpredictable ways to me.
I have CT on. If I turn it off, some fonts/applications go to #1 (NO AA at all), some to #3) old style smoothing.
At least until we get to #4, where it does all kinds of unpredictable mix and match.
It really seems like a complete mess to me and not just in web browsers. I expect MS will be forcing DirectWrite fonts in more applications and it will likely be the default choice in Win8.
