    It doesn't matter.. the client will complain about something.

    Usually the lorem ipsum text...

    whats the argument for not anti-aliasing the text?
  15.  
    because they will think you jipped them when they see their spanky new website in it's full Windows 98, Internet Explorer 5 glory?
  16.  
    Yay too

    Windows XP, IE6, doesn't anti-alias. I have known clients to moan that the text doesn't look as good when the site is built.

    It's an argument that I didn't think existed any more, but came up against it unexpectedly yesterday.

    I tend to make the client aware of text issues right from the start, and provide a visual example. Most don't care. Those that try and 'argue' the toss about it soon enough stop when they realise it's down to the browsers and not the designer. Much less hassle than doing the design and then having the argument, because at that point expectations haven't been met.

    its still pretty surprising - what are they saying they never been to a website with text in it before!

    most clients = kintards, probably the same ones who ask if they can have an accessible flash site with a 3-D logo...that spins

    It does, but you have to enable Cleartype in the WinXP display settings.
