I've only seen one person with this problem (Windows 7: ClearType Text), but then again I don't read General as much as before

Me too!

The quick reply box was often unreadable one line above and below where typing in a small box such as our quick reply and Visitor Message boxes here on the forum.

All lines are nice and crisp as I type this now.
As I scroll the message all words stay focused in the message.

It was my only complaint with IE9 final release.

Well it is better sometimes.

Bottom is clipped off but at least it isn't a total blur.

At least it is legible.

Seems to have affected FF5 too as it uses the DirectWrite APIs too. Fonts are much better now

Was having the blurry font issues, this seems to have fixed it.

It was annoying to say the least.

It didn't takes effect for me after multiple reboot (around three). Combined with this MS hot-fix one:
Applications may crash in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008 R2
