Anti-aliasing for Chrome and Opera

Question

I've seen theories around the interwebs for solutions to the cleartype issues with Chrome, Opera, and IE7-8. IE9 and Firefox ignore a user's preferences for cleartype, so I was wondering if there was a way to force a website's fonts to display as anti-aliased for each user visiting? I've tried hidden text-shadow, -webkit-font-smoothing, a little extra text-stroke, and more, all to no avail. Help?

No, you can't force browsers to render text with anti-aliasing, especially if they've chosen to respect the user's preference to not anti-alias text.
