When working with dark text on light background, grayscale antialiasing is preferred
(the text looks lighter).
On the other hand, with white text on dark background, subpixel antialiasing is better, because the text looks bolder.

Please give the control over this to the user,
or switch the antialiasing method along with the UI theme.

This gist explains which CSS properties are in charge of the desired behaviour.

I have added anti-aliasing option (fc10a3c) and tested it in some of browsers including SeaMonkey on Windows. But I see no visual differences between text rendering techniques, even in your gist example. Maybe, it depends on OS fonts and settings. But anyway, this option should fix your problem. If it doesn't, open the issue again. Thanks.
