There's a *huge* volume of pages surrounding the use of '-webkit-font-smoothing', some insightful, some inane, but the bottom line is that authors are using this to work around a deficiency of OSX text rendering. Not sure why you're asserting that it won't be used to make text more legible. > WebKit and most likely all other browsers will drop subpixel > anti-aliasing when a block of text is animated on the GPU.

There are all sorts of conditions under which either a user agent or the underlying OS will disable subpixel antialiasing. I think the shift you're seeing is more an implementation deficiency rather than something that needs addressing via an explicit property. John Daggett
