Animated text looks horrible in IE. It's the well known IE cleartype bug at work.
See http://blog.bmn.name/2008/03/jquery-fadeinfadeout-ie-cleartype-glitch/ for a very effective fix

Which ie version does the issue you described show up on?

#2

Well, this was a while ago, but I marked it as 6.x-2.3, so my guess is that 6.x-2.3 had the issue!

#3

I meant which version of ie. I am hesitant to apply the patch that is posted here due to the way it declares an entire jquery plugin. Couldn't there be a way to do this without a plugin? I'm not completely closed to the idea but I'm not sold on it either.
