This might help for a decent fallback (though not for firefox on xp)

This isn't exactly as bad it can look but it's an example, since apparently Windows XP in VMware on my Mac doesn't replicate the results....
So, that instead, is from Windows 7/Firefox with ClearType Off. The lower the quality of LCD screen you use, the worse it looks IMO. Just dragging this image file from one screen to the next on my iMac I notice a big change in quality (20" imac screen is really bad..see photo below). And on the laptop with Windows XP and font smoothing set to Standard it's even worse. Notice how the letters are not a uniform color, they get darker and lighter? If the font is any smaller it's nearly impossible to read because it's so annoying to look at.
Now, the same image photographed on the built in screen on an aluminum 20" imac (closer to what I saw earlier on a windows xp machine)...

Much of this depends on the quality of the fonts you're using. If the fonts aren't hinted XP will mangle them.
