I've been working on how to perform font anti aliasing on web pages. Here're some solutions I found:
-webkit-font-smoothing attribute: It seems to work only on the newest browsers. I didn't try it out.Also, I found this website, gitorious.org, uses very beautiful antialising fonts on the homepage. But I wonder how it worked. The source code shows it's just plain text, but cannot be changed using debugging tools such as Firebug. Does any one know what is behind this? Or someway else to work around this font problem.

Aliasing is the visual stair-stepping of edges that occurs in an image when the resolution is too low. Anti-aliasing is the smoothing of jagged edges in digital images by averaging the colors of the pixels at a boundary.
Antialiasing refers to the smoothing of jagged edges of drawn graphics and text to improve their appearance or readability.
antialiased - Smooth the font on the level of the pixel, as opposed to the subpixel. Switching from subpixel rendering to antialiasing for light text on dark backgrounds makes it look lighter. subpixel-antialiased - On most non-retina displays, this will give the sharpest text.
One approach as suggested here is to use the the CSS property text-shadow, like so:
text-shadow: 0 0 1px rgba(51,51,51,0.5);
