Is there a way to cause fonts to be rendered smoothly without creating them as graphics? Perhaps some obscure <font> tag attribute or some css decoration?

No, unfortunately, there's nothing that does anti-aliasing automatically. What's more in Windows XP there is "Cleartype" which is excellent for improving screen rendering of fonts, but it is not even activated by default.
In MacOSX and even in most modern Linux distributions, anti-aliasing is enabled.

You'll find, by hard trial and error, that most fonts just look better in certain sizes. I keep windows non-antialiased so I can check how stuff looks there. On Linux my eyes are saved with nice anti-aliasing, and I have to go to windows anyways to check the ie bugs. Btw there's nothing like having windows when it when it comes to squashing ie bugs - windows is really the very best product for that task.
