My site is utilizing google fonts, and I'm having some issues with XP. Namely, because XP doesn't have anti-aliasing by default, all the fonts are pixelated, even in browsers like Firefox and Chrome. Is there a way to correct this issue, or are XP users just stuck with it?

Segoe UI (pronounced "SEE-go") is the Windows system font.
Let's take a look and how that's done. Like most fonts, the underlying file type of most Google Fonts is TTF. That means that these fonts can easily be downloaded to a Mac or a Windows computer, and installed without having to do anything more than click a couple of native buttons.
To install Google Fonts in Windows 10: Download a font file to your computer. Unzip that file anywhere you like. Locate the file, right-click, and select Install.
use SIRF! we all hate flash but this is the only feasible solution. And this issue is not restricted to windows XP, its the same case with all windows platforms.
Another option is to keep a text shadow of 1px 1px 1px on all fonts. This would make them appear a bit smoother.

Thanks for the suggestion Tarun. In the end, I went with Cufon. It produced the most consistent look across all platforms.
