Is there any way to make the fonts render as anti aliased in Windows, when using font-face embedding?

http://code.google.com/webfonts looks much better on Ubuntu/Mac, as compared to Windows 7 (tried chrome/firefox)

Ensure you've got clear-type turned on. Thats-anti aliasing for your windows.

Looks like there's no Anti-aliasing present for embedded fonts in any version of Windows yet.

They are anti-aliased, just not very well.

That's a question I'm wondering about for quite a while now. Even on Win7 most @font-face fonts look terrible, no matter which browser being used. On OS X and GNU/Linux (Gnome) everything's perfect.

A: 

above recommendations to turn on cleartype are sadly incorrect. Cleartype makes embedded fonts jagged – turning clertype OFF makes them smooth. i don't know why this is, but it sure is frustrating.
