This is the only acceptable font rendering in any OS. Prove me wrong.

Font is a bunch of shapes, strictly defined by their coordinates with high precision.

Font rendering is the process during which system turns those strictly defined shapes into bitmaps to be displayed on your monitor.

I actually kind of agree. The eye strain with subpixel/anti-aliasing really gets to me after awhile. I use OS X and mactype with a custom ios.ini on my windows workstation, but I might just use aliased rendering on windows in the future.

Try antialiased (subpixel), but stick to single pixel line width and use full hinting. It gives you good looking italics without bold gray (mac-style) or blurry (cleartype) rendering. Doesn't work too well for moonrunes though.
