Well, that flash method is actually quite common. I see it almost everywhere now.

Well it's about time, some of us have been using Operating systems/browsers that have anti-aliased text for years. Just because Microsoft did it doesn't mean it's new

There are a couple of ways around this issue, one is just playing with fonts until they don't look too bad, or use that Flash technique. I knew I'd seen this before, and here's how they did it: sIFR (http://www.mikeindustries.com/sifr/). Damn, wish I'd bookmarked that, although I ditched the idea as it relies on Flash and JavaScript. But is SEO friendly and semantic. Apparently.

If you have a look closely, it's actually done with flash.

I remember when I was taking my web design course, someone mentioned this.

Just have a google for it

That's exactly what I'm talking about Davey (thanks for the link.) Anyone know how to get that effect?

This web site that i like the look of : http://www.smarterfuel.com/

The titles on there seem to be anti-aliased somewhat, i actually thought/assumed they were images when i first looked.

There is currently no way of controlling anti-aliasing with CSS. Even if there were MS wouldn't support it. They don't even seem to have support for it in their OS (Hah!)

It would be a good addition to the standard though, maybe in CSS 3? Maybe you/we should suggest it?

Hmm - just a thought. Are they using verdana as opposed to Arial? The former is designed for screen use. Other than that, I don't have any idea of hand. Sorry
