yes, it does look a little out of focus, but in my opinion it's definitely an improvement. I prefer a slight blurryness over grungy edges.
Llorean:
I've never thought of sharp edges as being "grungy", just "precise". Otherwise it contrasts pretty sharply with anything that can't be antialiased. It basically makes the UI look very inconsistent to me. Compare it to the Clock and Play icons he's used for the WPS screen for example.
ZincAlloy:
yes, the icons are the big weakness in this theme. it would look much better with anti aliased icons - on the other hand that would make it impossible to use different colored backdrops with this theme without messing up the looks...
sharp edges do look "precise", but that precision looks wrong to me, because I know that the outlines of the font are supposed to be smooth and rounded - without any steps. I like fake smoothness better than faulty precision.
Sharp edges look great on very thin or small fonts (for example Helvetica up to size 18). On bolder ones like this one I like the smoothness.
soap:
It doesn't help the "blurry" argument that the album art in the screenshot is also soft focused.

Try to convert with this one, it should be more up-to-date than the font converter on that website.
It's just the newest version of the converter, compiled from the anti-aa font patch page ;)
