Is there any way to disable font smoothing in Safari-rendered web pages? I'd use this browser more often were it not for the smoothing, which I think looks like crap. The usual trick of writing into Safari's preference space doesn't work; i.e.,
defaults write com.apple.safari AppleAntiAliasingThreshold 24
has no effect on how web pages are displayed. It does affect auxiliary items like the font in the menu bar, pref dialogs, and such, but not web content. This trick does work with IE, mozilla, chimera, and just about any other application I've tried it on. Safari (i.e., Steve Jobs) seems determined to enforce the use of font smoothing whether we like it or not.
