You can enable ClearType system wide for all programs to make other programs like Firefox use it.

Thank you for your reply. It came to be able to see a smooth font thanks to your advice!
Please tell me if you know,,, Can ClearType be set only by CSS or JavaScript or other programs without changing the setting of OS?
I couldn't found a good method though searching,,,
You're welcome.
No, Firefox uses the system API to render text and other programs, apart from IE, can't use ClearType unless it is enabled in the OS.
