Cleartype can be enabled in IE7 without being enabled for the rest of apps &
the desktop. On an initial install of IE7 on XP the enable Cleartype box is
checked by default.

Looking there on XP on CRT with Cleartype here, I see no differences among
SeaMonkey, Firefox, IE7 & Opera. Safari 5.25.13 OTOH is using Arial instead
of Arial Narrow, and none show any pixelation that I can see.
