Not sure if it was here before, but I just discovered this little trick for sharper font rendering / better letter separation.

a) Enable Safari debug menu (I believe that's the code:
Code:
defaults write com.apple.Safari IncludeInternalDebugMenu -bool true
)

b) Open debug menu, goto layout flags and enable Screen Font Substitution.

You should see the effect straight away. The difference isn't very drastic, but it's noticeable. ;)

Another solution would be to simply permanently zoom in the text by 106%.
I believe this works best with MBA, as it pretty much matches the 13" MBP /retina/ UI scale.
