I recently came across http://browserlab.adobe.com/. I examined several of the sites I manage and to my chagrin, some functionality did not work on all browsers on the PC and Mac. One especially annoying discovery (which I suspected earlier) was that the same page would display ugly with Firefox on the PC, okay with Internet Explorer on the PC, and okay on Mac FireFox and Safari. How could that be? A little sleuthing on the net revealed that there is a setting in the PC control panel for enabling ClearType. That resolves the problem. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/306527. Do my clients and their users look at their web sites via PC Firefox and barf?
The more germane question is whether ClearType is automatically set in Vista or Windows 7. It doesn't appear to be default in XP.
