IIRC, while LCD-smoothing was on, the display was rather the opposite
of crisp. The fuzziness led to quite a bit of eye strain on my part,
and I was very happy when kLCD-smoothing was turned off.

I have some complaints about the NS port myself, but rendering issues
is not among them. (Though clearly, something must have happened in
the font department: There are many more glyphs displayed as boxes in
the HELLO file than there used to.)
