I had listened to an interview with the original cleartype author on a podcast almost a decade ago now.

IIRC He said that when Apple got the cleartype patent (due to the Apple/Microsoft cross patent agreement that happened in the late 90s), they kinda messed up the implementation of cleartype and Windows actually implements it correctly and Mac OS X (now Mac OS) doesn't.

So I find this somewhat amusing.

You might be thinking of the interview with the late Bill Hill (2011), co-creator of ClearType : https://thisdeveloperslife.com/post/2-0-5-typo
