    I'm running XP SP2 under Parallels 3.0 on a 20" iMac with Leopard. In Windows applications, at least some of the fonts are rendered badly. Arial and Arial Black, in particular, come out looking "thin" and light -- to the point that it's tiring trying to read them. For applications on the Mac side, there's no problem, so I presume it's related to the VM display driver for Parallels.

    Is there any way to fix or work around this problem? If not, I'm considering dumping Parallels and springing for native Mac versions of the applications I've been using Parallels to run. But that's a pricy solution that I'd rather avoid. Aside from the font rendering problem, seems to be a great solution.
