title: IE8: Disable cleartype?
body: <p>For IE7, it's possible to add </p>
  
  <pre><code>filter: none;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>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.</p>
  
  <p>IE8 however, seems to ignore the css option, even when forcing the browser into IE7 compatibility mode using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=7" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><br />
  TL;DR: How do I disable clear-type fonts in IE8 through CSS?</p>
