I guess our tastes differ, then.  Your rendering is identical to mine. 
The chroma-noisy 'a' and 'w', the thin diagonals of the 'K' and the fat
'A' are all peeves to me - especially when compared to the ClearType
version, which is not as black, but is otherwise superior IMHO.

I guess subpixel rendering is a black art!
