Beat Stamm, formerly of the Advanced Reading Technologies group at Microsoft (and before that Microsoft Typography), has published a massively expanded and updated version of his classic article on 'The Raster Tragedy at Low-Resolution', which explained the need for 'hinting' of TrueType fonts in low resolution environments. The new version of the article covers the plethora of different anti-aliasing technologies now in play, and perhaps of most interest to CSS folk some discussion of the relationship of font hinting to scaleable or adaptive layout.
