For IE7, it's possible to add
filter: none;
to the body css to disable cleartype on fonts through CSS. I don't like the fuzzy look it gives, and it isn't really consistent across browsers. IE; Firefox and IE6 show it differently.
IE8 however, seems to ignore the css option, even when forcing the browser into IE7 compatibility mode using:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" />
TL;DR: How do I disable clear-type fonts in IE8 through CSS?
