CSS Font Smoothing

[Steve]

I've been re-designing one of my websites over the last few days and am having trouble getting IE to automatically font-smooth using CSS.

Safari, Chrome, Opera, Firefox etc all do it automatically, but it just looks dog-rough in IE8.

Can this be done in my style sheet? If so, how?

Standard font family is Verdana, Sans-Serif so it shouldn't be hard.

Thanks in advance.

I'm no expert by any means but i believe it is a web browser property, not a CSS issue - AFAIK IE doesn't have it enabled by default.

Yet another reason why IE is pointless.

Yes, I just thought it might be possible to 'force' it on your page using style sheets. No big deal if it can't be done.
