Italic text looks crappy on windows...
So, here's a snapshot of a web page in Safari and Firefox on Mac:

Any way I can make italic text look better on Windows (strangely, Safari in Windows renders it beautifully)? I tried giving an explicit font family, thinking that maybe it was just differing default fonts, and I even tried bumping the point size up a couple notches. No luck...
Thanks!

I know their is a control panel in Windows XP to use anti-aliased fonts, which is not on by default. Dadgum it if I can remember where it is though...

Smurf the game developers for making me use Winders.
