I'm experiencing very annoying trouble out here. My font rendering is kind of blurry when it comes to dark backgrounds. Here's a screenshot using Swyphs II color theme. My rendering is on the top of the screenshot, author's is at the bottom, after the red line.

Font smoothing in system perferences is set to 'Automatic', and i'm on Leopard, 23" ACD.
You might try changing the smoothing value to "Light"; I've found the "Automatic" setting to be rather mushy on LCDs. On displays inferior to the Cinema Display (a pair of Dells at work, for example), I've just gotten used to a certain amount of fuzziness. :/

I've tried many different fonts in an attempt to try and solve the blurry fonts on a dark background. Every time I end up turning anti- alias off. Anti-alias on a white background is beautiful, but it just blurs too much for me on a black one. I haven't had any luck with the font smoothing. Maybe I'm doing something wrong though. If anyone has an advice on this I would appreciate the comments too!
