And so I have to (well, choose to) use inferior fonts, all because of a pixel or two's offset :-(
I'm using XP, and it happens with ClearType enabled, regular (GDI) font smoothing enabled or no font smoothing.
(Fortunately when I'm at home I get to use Ubuntu and so can use the Ubuntu font family to my heart's content.)
