Large fonts are not smooth in firefox on windows

So, I am doing a small portfolio (http://www.cip.ifi.lmu.de/~fritschd/testDebo/), where I have a BIG box with a BIG font. Everything is fine on the Mac, on windows, however, depending on the browser, it really can suck. Firefox on windows is one of them.

Is there any way to smooth this large font? What other options do I have? (I do not want to use the image for SEO reasons). Other (system) fonts have the same problem.

EDIT: An example can be found on the linked page. The font is approx. 180 pixels, so it's pretty big. The browser that seems to have the problem is the latest build of firefox on windows. If you look at the div with the name on the page, the borders will be uneven. I read that this is a problem with the true font window option and browsers that do not have their own settings (i.e. Chrome). So what are my options at the moment?

This is a very well-known issue of using ClearType fonts on Windows that are not associated with specific web browsers. Read this very clear explanation of font-face-loaded-on-windows-look-really-bad-which-fonts-are-you-using-that-rend
