I like this program. It actually replicates the font smoothing capabilities of the Macintosh OS X. I’m never going back to ClearType again with this on hand! Besides, this program has the advantage over Windows’ current font smoothing technologies.

Abbie, Anon and WinJay and Yonathan thanks a lot.

Yonathan, you can try various settings in the software (available in the .ini and the tray icon) to try and match it with Mac OS like. However, I guess there will always be a variance between native OS feature and an Add-on.

After comparing it with Safari’s font rendering, I found that they are not exactly the same, but very close, though.
Anyway, text on my screen is much more readable now. I hate ClearType.

You are now my hero. I love this program, and now I can use Opera again, and I am not restricted to Safari for readability.
