Comment on Why a Better OpenType User Interface Mattersparent

The black text on white background look amazing on that site though, I wonder how they did that.

Do you mean the main body text? Maybe these details will help if you like it:

The typeface appears to be Ideal Sans from Hoefler & Co, served via their Cloud.Typography webfont service.

I'm seeing hyphenation due to -moz-hyphen:auto in the CSS as well.

It doesn't look that good to me on this system, and personally I wouldn't go anywhere near Hoefler & Co without a small army of lawyers on retainer at this point, but whatever floats your boat I guess.

Thank you, you have been very helpful!
