Comment:

 That looks a little bit better. But now I think fonts everywhere else look
 worse. I like having full hinting because then the fonts are nice and thin
 ''(closer to how they're intended to look)''. With hinting off everything
 is much bolder. I don't like that. It also doesn't seem to be what the
 font is supposed to look like.

 But I think how the fonts are rendered is beside the point...

 I think just ''Lucida Grande'' itself doesn't really fit in with the rest
 of the interface. The ''Lucida Grande'' font has always seemed less
 readable to me. It's more of a designers font rather than something you'd
 use in an app ''(like WordPress)''.

 But again, that is just my opinion I suppose...

 I was just hoping we wouldn't have to be stuck with that as the default
 font. Like I said, it just doesn't seem to fit...
